NFR’s First Goods Train From Guwahati Reaches Manipur
This initiative was undertaken by the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) in collaboration with the state’s transport department.
This aims to address the scarcity of essential items caused by the prevailing law and order situation in Manipur.
The goods train transported essential commodities including potatoes, rice, sugar, onion, and other food products to violence-hit Manipur.
In this regard, Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said that this development heralds a new plethora of opportunities for the people of the state.
“Delighted to witness the momentous arrival of the inaugural goods train at Khongsang Railway Station today. This development heralds a plethora of opportunities for the people of Manipur, promising expedited transportation of goods and essential commodities,” the Chief Minister wrote on Twitter.
