JAMSHEDPUR – The Chakradharpur division has completed preparations for new Vande Bharat train routes from Tatanagar to Patna and Barhampur, pending final approval to start operations.
Upgrades to the washing line at Tatanagar station have been completed in anticipation of the new service.
Staff training for maintenance and operation of the Vande Bharat trains has been conducted.
Despite these preparations, the green light for operation has not yet been given.
