The inaugural MEMU service arrived at Churhat railway station in Sidhi district, signalling the start of regular operations on the Lalitpur‑Singrauli line from 26 October.
A MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) train made its maiden arrival at Churhat railway station in Sidhi district, Madhya Pradesh, as part of the newly completed Lalitpur‑Singrauli rail line project. The train’s entry into Churhat marks a significant milestone for the region’s connectivity, linking it more directly with the broader railway network.
The Lalitpur‑Singrauli line, a key infrastructure initiative of the Indian Railways, is slated to commence regular passenger services on 26 October. The inaugural run to Churhat serves as a trial and public demonstration ahead of the full schedule, allowing officials to assess operational readiness.
Local commuters and business owners welcomed the development, noting that improved rail access is expected to boost trade, reduce travel time, and provide a reliable alternative to road transport. The project also aligns with the government's broader push to enhance regional mobility across central India.
Railway authorities confirmed that subsequent MEMU services will operate at regular intervals once the official timetable begins, further integrating Sidhi district into the state’s transport framework.
