IRCON floats tender for ₹182-cr rail project

Sivok-Rangpo is an under construction 44.96 km long broad gauge railway line connecting Sivok in West Bengal to Rangpo in Sikkim. It will be the first railway connectivity to the State of Sikkim with the rest of India as the project is already delayed due to various reasons and the cost of project has escalated multiple times. The Indian Railways has assigned the contract to IRCON to construct the line and IRCON is carrying out construction work for this project on behalf of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR). On completion, this railway line will have 5 stations on the route namely – Melli, Teesta Bazaar, Geil Khola, Riang, and Rangpo. The Project will constitute construction of 28 bridges, 14 tunnels with 86% of the route totaling 38.53 km and will pass through the tunnels and the line is expected to become operational by December, 2022.
