    "summary": "The entire railway network in Assam has been fully electrified, allowing trains to operate on electric power across the state. This development is expected to improve operational efficiency, reduce fuel costs, and provide passengers with faster and more reliable train services.",
    "articleBody": "The entire railway network in Assam has been electrified, marking a significant milestone for train travel in the region. This development is expected to enhance operational efficiency and provide a smoother experience for passengers, according to railway experts.\n\nThe completion of 100% electrification across Assam's railway lines means trains can now run on electric power throughout the state without switching to diesel locomotives. Experts say this will lead to faster trains, lower fuel costs, and reduced environmental impact. Passengers can anticipate shorter journey times and more reliable services as a result of this upgrade.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nVice President Radhakrishnan begins two-day trip to Assam\nGuwahati Airport Emerges as Key Gateway to Northeast India",
