Udaipur to Dungarpur Electrification Completed

The electrification work from Udaipur to Dungarpur has been successfully completed, with electric engines already operational on this stretch. Under the North Western Railway, the electrification project from Dungarpur to Himmatnagar is progressing rapidly, marked by the installation of pillars along the entire route.

Overcoming Technical Challenges

Despite encountering technical difficulties at some locations, the project is advancing steadily. Small remaining tasks are being addressed under the supervision of senior engineers.
