Patna: The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Railway Board, Satish Kumar, conducted a window trailing inspection of the Rajendranagar Terminal–Rajendrapul–Karpurigram–Bapudham Motihari railway section on Thursday. The inspection focused on safety measures, monsoon precautions, signal visibility, track maintenance, proper ballasting, track screening, overhead traction, alignment and fittings across the section. He was accompanied by General Manager Chhatrasal Singh and other senior railway officials.
During the visit, Satish Kumar first reviewed the under-construction terminal platforms at Harding Park near Patna Junction.

He also visited Karpurigram station, inspecting passenger facilities, the foot over bridge, platforms, circulating area and goods shed, and took stock of the development works underway.
