Kathmandu, August 9
Nepal and India have jointly launched a test operation of Janakpur-Jaynagar broad gauge.
In the first phase, the test operation was conducted along an eight km stretch from Jaynagar to Khajuri, but it will be extended further, according to Prakash Bhakta Upadhyaya, spokesperson at the Department of Railways.
Recently, the task of laying tracks had been over along the route.
Nepal plans to begin the commercial operation of the railway from this December. For this, the two governments have already agreed that Nepal will rent coaches and human resources from India.
Upadhyaya says necessary technical human resources will be outsourced for next one and half years until when Nepali personnel train. The outsourced personnel will be mobilised in the training of local staff here.
