Yesterday in a bengali news channel it was shown that due to hurry and low quality material the doubling work between Singur and Nalikul is been delayed. I went to Kamarkundu station and visited the spot and found it was horrible situation. Two or three officials were sitting in a hand driven with an open umbrella over and superviser were supervising bolder patching work. Over there I heard the officer to say that within a week the up Tarakeshwar local train will ply over the most unstabble track I had ever seen. So my request is to kindly pospond the commissioning of the train service over the new UP line till the completion of the on going work upto satisfaction.Visit the site and take dicession and kindly don't run after Ur carrier.
