India has handed over two modern trains to Nepal that would run between Jaynagar in Bihar and Kurtha in Dhanusa district from mid-December.
The Konkan Railway delivered two modern Diesel-Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) trains to the Nepal Railways.
These trains are manufactured by Integrated Coach Factory, Chennai with modern amenities and the latest AC-AC propulsion technology
Since the border is unlikely to open soon due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the train services would not start immediately and the trains would be parked atthe Nepal Railway Station in Jaynagar.
The Jaynagar-Kurtha rail line was originally built during the British Raj to transport logs from forests at Mahottari, Nepal to India.
