Exam Special train between Karimganj and Silchar on August 28; Will leave at 6:00AM and reach at 8:30 AM

This is big breaking news for all the applicants of Grade III direct recruitment examination from Karimganj and Hailakandi. After much request and protests by various sections from Karimganj and Hailakandi, an exam special train is all set to run between Karimganj and Silchar on Sunday.

The train will leave Karimganj Junction at 6:00 AM and will reach Silchar at 8:30 AM. This train will have 9 stoppages in the route. The train will leave for Karimganj again at 7:45 PM from Silchar and reach there by 10:30 PM.

The stoppages in between are New Karimganj, Chargola, Bhanga, Rupasibari, Badarpur, Panchgram, Katakhal Jn, Salchapra, Arunachal and finally Silchar. This has been done to clear the extra rush due to the recruitment examination of 3rd-grade posts of the Government of Assam. The Manager of NF Railway at Maligaon has informed about this through a notice on August 26. There are a total of 7 coaches in the train.

A huge role has been played in this by North Karimganj MLA, Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha. Yesterday he wrote letters to the General Manager of Northeast Frontier Railway, Maligaon and Divisional Railway Manager, NF Railway, Lumding.

Both the letters have the same demand for an exam special train between Karimganj and Hailakandi. The letters said, “I am to inform you that on coming 28/08/2022 the recruitment examination for the 3rd grade post of Govt. of Assam is going to be conducted at different centres of Cachar District for the candidates of the entire Barak Valley. So the candidates from Karimganj and Hailakandi District will also appear in the examinations as such for the greater interest of the candidates I request you to provide a SPECIAL TRAIN on the date to ply from Karimganj to Silchar in morning hours at 6 AM to start from Karimganj Junction”.
