The first-ever rake of cement was delivered to the Molvom railway station in Nagaland on Thursday, marking a major milestone for the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), officials announced. The rake, which was made up of 41 wagons that were laden with cement from a private company in Telangana, was successfully emptied on Wednesday, according to Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) for the NFR. According to him, this is the first rake movement to Molvom railway station, enhancing the area’s rail infrastructure and connectivity. In Nagaland’s Chümoukedima District, the Molvom Railway Station is a brand-new train station. It aims to become Nagaland’s third main railway station after Shokhüvi and Dimapur. It is a part of the Dhansiri (Assam)–Zubza (in Kohima district) line.
According to the CPRO, the NFR is still dedicated to improving freight infrastructure in the Northeast to promote sustainable logistics and economic growth. From Mellacheruvu, Telangana, to Molvom railway station in Nagaland, the rake transported 2,624 tons of cement over 2,500 miles, giving industries affordable, environmentally friendly transportation and promoting the socioeconomic growth of the state. Sharma claims that the Dimapur–Kohima railway line, which connects Dhansiri in Assam to Zubza in Kohima, is 82.50 km long, with 2.75 km in Assam and 79.75 km in Nagaland.
