The state of Nagaland witnessed a historic feat after Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio flagged off the ‘Donyi Polo Express’ from Shokhuvi Station on Friday.

With this Nagaland got its second railway station on the Dhansari-Shokhuvi railway line after a gap of more than 100 years since Dimapur station was opened in 1903.

The 15817/15818 Donyi Polo Express, which used to run between Guwahati and Naharlagun (Arunachal Pradesh), is now extended to Shokhuvi, and will henceforth run as a daily train service between Shokhuvi and Naharlagun. The train will cover a distance of 440 km in 13 hrs and 40 mins. It will have stoppages at Dhansiri, Diphu, Lumding, Lanka, Hojai, and Chaparmukh stations in its extended service between Shukhovi and Guwahati.
