Creation of new horizons of infrastructure development by Railways

Raipur : Over the years, South East Central Railway has created new horizons in the field of infrastructure development under its jurisdiction. From the point of view of passenger facilities, construction of foot over bridges at stations, construction of road over bridges/road under bridges/subways etc. for road passengers crossing railway lines or construction of new railway lines within their jurisdiction, Many important big projects like doubling, construction of third line and fourth line and gauge conversion have been completed in South East Central Railway.
Work is being done at a rapid pace on the construction projects of new railway line, doubling, third line and fourth line under the three railway divisions of South East Central Railway, Bilaspur, Raipur and Nagpur. Detailed information about important projects related to infrastructure development like Anuppur-Katni Third Line, Rajnandgaon-Kalmana Third Line and Bilaspur-Jharsuguda Fourth Railway Line is as follows: –
