Railway minister flags off new MEMU train virtually
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|June 29, 2025
Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw virtually flagged off a new MEMU train from Purulia-Bankura-Howrah via Masagram and inaugurated the Udyami Sammelan Mela 2025 today.
The introduction of this new MEMU train marks a significant step in regional connectivity, establishing a vital link between the Howrah-Burdwan Chord Line under Eastern Railway and the Bankura-Masagram Line operated by South Eastern Railway.
The project would enhance travel convenience for passengers and also open new avenues for economic growth, tourism, and industrial development.
According to the SER, with this connectivity in place, passengers travelling from Howrah to destinations like Bankura and Bishnupur via Masagram will benefit from shorter and more efficient journeys.
The Masagram Connectivity Project shortens the distance between Howrah and Bankura or Purulia by approximately 41 kilometres, offering substantial time savings and easing the commute for daily travellers.

Awaiting the grand finale
It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
