Nitish promises 'reasonable' Railway Budget

However, "you can take it for sure that the Budget will be reasonable," he said.

Kumar had come to Raiganj Railway station to lay the foundation stone of Rs 2.16 billion Katihar-Barsoi-Radhikapur gauge conversion project at Raiganj railway station in North Dinajpur district.
