(a) to (c) Provision of Route Relay Interlocking at Gaya was planned as a part of
replacement of Signalling gears and for improving/simplifying the operations and
maintenance. Gaya Yard required remodelling for providing additional operational
facilities like extension of platform length , additional crossovers and impending third
line between Gaya and Manpur. The yard remodelling plan could only be finalised
recently. The work of Route Relay Interlocking is proposed to be taken up after
completion of yard remodelling work and completed by 30.6.2003.
In the meanwhile, major portion of material which had been procured for
Route Relay Interlocking work has been utilised for completing other sanctioned works.
