Ahistoric moment unfolded for the people of Manipur as the state made its appearance on the Indian Railways map. A passenger train, Rajdhani Express from Assam’s Silchar railway station, reached Manipur’s Vaingaichunpao railway station for a trial run on July 2. Reportedly, the passenger train covered a distance of 11 kilometers with railway officials onboard. Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh and Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh have called it a ‘historic moment.’

According to a report by East Mojo, locals greeted the railway officers at Manipur’s Jiribam railway station, wherein the train took a halt. It was followed by hoisting the national flag and singing the national anthem. From Silchar, railway officials including North-East Frontier (NF) Railway senior PRO Nripen Bhattacharya, and CDO Silchar, Abdul Hakim reached the Jiribam railway station.

Addressing the media, PRO Bhattacharya revealed that the passenger train service from Vaingaichunpao to Silchar will commence soon. He further said that the broad-gauge train service was extended from Silchar up to Vaingaichunpao railway station.

Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on July 3 hailed the historic moment via his Twitter handle. Re-tweeting a clip of the passenger train shared by IPS officer Rupin Sharma, the chief minister informed that the first trial run of a passenger train from Silchar to Vaingaichunpao has been successfully conducted on July 2. He added that the people of Manipur are immensely grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BJP leader and Union minister of state for Development of North Eastern Region Dr Jitendra Singh also took to Twitter to hail the ‘historic’ moment. The union minister too shared a clip of the train and revealed that Manipur has finally made its debut on the Railway map of India.

It has been reported that the Vaingaichunpao-Imphal railway line is under construction. But once it will be completed, the Vaingaichunpao-Imphal railway line will be the longest railway tunnel near Imphal, which is the capital of Manipur.

Another partly fake news:

Since 1899, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram and South Assam had meter gauge railway lines. In 2014, the Northeast Frontier Railway took up the job of converting the 115-year-old meter gauge line to broad gauge line in these regions.

In 2016, PM Modi in Shillong flagged off three new trains for Mizoram, Manipur and Kamakhya in Assam. For Manipur, it was the first broad gauge passenger train that connected Jiribam to Silchar.

Initial work on gauge conversion from Silchar to Jiribam started in December 2009 and finished in early 2016 and goods services resumed. The first locomotive test run was held on 15 May 2012 on the Jiribam–Imphal line.[8]

Freight trains started to run on the Silchar–Jiribam segment from 21 March 2016. Passenger services started on 27 May 2016 and one pair of Passenger train (55665/55666) is running on this section between Silchar and Jiribam.
