Title - Threat to railway track near Fango halt yet to subside

Saharsa/Purnia: Railway engineers have so far succeeded in thwarting the threat of erosion to the Saharsa-Mansi rail track at 15/6.8 km near Fango Halt between Koparia and Dhamraha railway stations in the Samastipur division of East Central Railway (ECR), but the threat to the track, which connects Kosi division with the rest of Bihar, has not as yet subsided altogether.

The anti-erosion operation, continuing for the sixth consecutive day on war footing, has thwarted the erosion threat at the 15/6.8 km. But the turbulent Kosi mounted pressure at other nearby places. The rising water level is virtually keeping engineers and other officials on the edge, said railway sources.
