The Samastipur Railway Division has started the process of reopening Kaparpura Railway Gumti number 107 in Muzaffarpur. Work began on Friday, May 22, 2026, under the supervision of railway staff. This move comes as a big relief for residents of over 100 nearby villages who faced severe travel issues since the crossing was closed.
Why was the gumti closed and when will it open?
The crossing was closed on the night of February 22, 2026, by the Samastipur Railway Division and district administration to make way for a Road Over Bridge (ROB). Due to this closure, around 20,000 people had to travel 5 kilometers to cover a distance of just 500 meters. The current restoration work, including removing boulders and filling pits, is expected to be completed in about one week.
What is the long-term plan for this crossing?
The reopening of the gumti is a temporary measure. The Samastipur Railway Division decided on May 16, 2026, to construct a Limited Height Sub-Way (LH S-Way) at this location. The tender for this project has been issued by the Senior Divisional Engineer (Coordination), and bids will open in June. The estimated cost for this sub-way is 6.62 crore rupees.
