Electrification works of Lumding & Tinsukia Division are progressing at a rapid pace with most of the sections already electrified and balance 425 RKM is targeted to be commissioned by June’25.  Due to rapid commissioning of the sections, maintenance of Electrification works have grown manifold which needs Trained and experienced Railway Personnel for scheduled maintenance and breakdown attention as Electric Traction is directly related to Train operations.
