When I was there about 2 weeks ago, NJP-Siliguri Jn was broad gauge but not yet opened. The rails were shiny from works trains though, so it can't be long now. The 2' gauge on this section was also closed but apparently complete. Metre gauge on this section has been removed but odd disconnected sections remain.
The metre gauge has been realigned to the west side of the station at Siliguri Jn (now a MG terminus) and is in use.
