Commuters in Bagha faced significant difficulties as Railway Crossing 50-C remained closed due to a technical fault in the boom. The malfunction led to a massive traffic jam, leaving vehicle drivers stranded in the summer heat. Local residents and travelers experienced delays while waiting for the signal and boom to be repaired.
What is the current status of Bagha Railway Crossing 50-C
The crossing experienced a technical failure in the boom system, which kept the gates closed and blocked the flow of traffic. While this caused immediate distress to the public, the railway administration is working on maintaining the infrastructure. To improve long-term movement, a 600-meter long approach path of 25 feet width is being constructed up to this crossing to support a new rack point for freight movement.
What are the recent disputes regarding Bagha railway gates
The area has seen tension over the closure of railway gates. On March 19, 2026, local traders protested and shut their shops against the plan to close Railway Crossing 50. They argued that the current Railway Overbridge on NH-727 has divided the main market into two parts. Additionally, Valmiki Nagar MLA Surendra Kushwaha warned of protests, stating that closing the gate without an underpass would hurt sugarcane farmers and businessmen.
