Gauge conversion
Presently services are suspended on Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line since 2015, as it is undergoing gauge conversion, from metre to broad gauge. It is expected that the first stretch between Template:Stnlnk and Template:Stnlnk (13 km) to be completed in March 2020 and by June 2020, up to Gawnaha station (23 km). The last section between Gawnaha and Bhikhna Thori (13 km) passes through dense forest and needs a special permit from the Forest Department allowing construction works. As of August 2019, the permit has not been given.[2] According to the Forest Department, Gawnaha – Bhikhna Thori section should be closed and the railway land transferred to them.[3]
