Overview
- Northeast Frontier Railway says it has finished about 150 meters of fencing between Tunnel 16 and Bridge 262 on both sides of the line.
- Work near Tunnel 10 and Tunnel 12 is in progress and being fast-tracked for early completion.
- Teams are holding village awareness drives with pamphlets and posters that urge owners to keep cattle away from tracks.
- Tunnels create tight approaches that trap straying animals near the rails, so NFR is prioritizing barriers at those entries.
- The railway says this mix of fencing and local outreach is expected to reduce animal strikes and boost safety for trains and herders.
