Indian Railways' Tadoki‑R train reaches Rowghat, Chhattisgarh – first service since Independence

New Delhi – Indian Railways has successfully run its Tadoki‑R train into Rowghat in Chhattisgarh, a milestone that ends a gap of more than seven decades without rail service to the town. The arrival was confirmed by railway officials who said the line had been cleared and commissioned after extensive track‑renewal work.

The service is expected to improve passenger mobility and freight movement in the mineral‑rich region, linking Rowghat more directly with major junctions in the state. Local authorities welcomed the development, noting that better connectivity could spur economic activity and reduce travel time for residents.

The train’s entry into Rowghat is part of a broader push by Indian Railways to expand network coverage in underserved areas, aligning with the government's infrastructure and regional development goals.
