The work was completed on Wednesday by welding the last seven-metre section of the railway. However, a total of 48 hours were required, which ended Friday afternoon, for the castings to harden and be suitable for train running, according to engineers.
Now, the 6.68 km railway track is currently ready for train movement, they added.
The railway has been constructed maintaining international standards and will be durable for more than hundred years, according to sources.
