All long-distance trains, to be introduced from the city in future, will commence their journey from the Kolkata terminus in Chitpur, Eastern Railway general manager S S Khurana announced on Wednesday.
He was speaking at the flagging-off of the Kolkata-Radhikapur Express. New trains to Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur and Jogbani are also on the cards, he announced.
"We have already spent Rs 61 crore on this terminus. Two more platforms are being constructed while a route relay interlocking system and a water and sewerage treatment plant are being set up at the station," Khurana said.
