West Central Railway and North Central Railway have initiated a yard remodeling project between Bina and Agasoud stations to facilitate the connection of a third railway line. The construction, aimed at enhancing operational capacity, reliability, and punctuality, is scheduled to occur in phases from September 1, 2026, to October 15, 2026. Bhopal Divisional Railway Manager Pankaj Tyagi is coordinating with North Central Railway officials to ensure the project is completed efficiently.

The ongoing infrastructure upgrade is a crucial step toward modernizing the rail network in the region.
