Why it matters
The railway line carries regular passenger services, including Vande Bharat trains, alongside numerous freight trains. The protection measures are intended to ensure safer train operations and protect the critical railway infrastructure from potential disruptions caused by slope failures.
RVNL is carrying out this project under an existing contract to execute a railway line project in the Bhadrak section of Bihar for an SJVN subsidiary.
