The operation of trains between Jaynagar-Janakpur remained closed since 2014. Nepalese narrow gauge trains ran till 2014, but due to the long journey of the trains, the consumption of coal was high. The coal-fired train used to be very small. Because of this, people used to travel by hanging on the windows and doors. Due to many such reasons, the operation of trains was stopped.
About 800 crore rupees have been spent in the construction of this railway line between India and Nepal.

The work of about an 18 km long rail section from Kurtha to Bijalpura has also been completed. Whereas the Nepal government will soon get a 16-km railway line from Bijalpura to Bardibas.
