GUWAHATI: The Railways have completed dispatching manpower, materials and equipment to rebuild railway infrastructure in the landslide-hit Dima Hasao district, which is a connecting route to South Assam, Tripura, Manipur and Mizoram.
Chief public relations officer of NF Railway, Sabyasachi De, said if the monsoon does not play spoilsport, rail connectivity through Dima Hasao is likely to be restored by July 10. Among the major tasks to be executed, he said repairing the damaged approaches of the two bridges in the 5-km long Ditokcherra-Bandarkhal section are being executed on a priority basis. The restoration of the 100-meter rail track, the earth beneath which was completely washed away in rain and landslide in the 10-km long Daotuhaja-Phading section, is another major challenge, De said.
