The scope of the Indian Railways network is continuously increasing, and along with it, the process of connecting remote areas of the country with major religious and business centers has also intensified. Recently, Indian Railways has given a huge gift like to the common citizens of the country and especially to the passengers of Eastern India. A new train service has been officially launched for the areas connected to the country’s highest office i.e. the ancestral village of the President and his home district. With the start of this new train service, not only has the travel of the people of the President’s native region to the holy city of Puri in Orissa become very easy, but it has also become a task for thousands of passengers from many districts bordering Jharkhand and Odisha. This step taken by the Railways will not only boost tourism but will also strengthen the social, cultural and religious contacts between the two neighboring states. Let us know in detail what this new train is, what will be its route and what special facilities the passengers will get from it.
The number of devotees and tourists visiting Puri, the city of Lord Jagannath, from these areas of Eastern India has always been very high. Every year lakhs of people from different areas of Odisha and Jharkhand visit Puri to visit and spend holidays on the beach. But due to lack of adequate availability of direct trains, passengers often had to struggle in long queues or face huge difficulties while traveling. There was a long standing demand by local residents, public representatives and social organizations that a new express train should be operated to directly connect Puri to the native region of the President and the major industrial and rural areas of Jharkhand. Keeping this public sentiment and increasing demand in mind, the Railway Board, after examining all the technical aspects and feasibility of the route, has finally given the green signal for the operation of this new train, which has created a wave of happiness among the general public.
According to the official schedule released by the Railways, this new train will travel through major stations of Jharkhand till Puri in Odisha. Its stoppages have also been fixed at many small and big stations falling on its route, so that people of rural areas around the President’s native village can also get the facility to catch the train directly from their nearest station without going to the district headquarters. With the introduction of this train, passengers traveling through Gomia, Bokaro, Ranchi, Hatia or nearby routes of Jharkhand are going to get the biggest benefit. The train’s modern bogies, better security arrangements and comfortable seats will make the journey of passengers more pleasant. Apart from this, the fare of this train has also been kept in line with the normal express trains, so that people from every section of the society, be it middle class families or pilgrims, can easily avail its benefits. On the very first day of its inauguration, the Railway Administration gave a grand welcome to the passengers traveling in the train by garlanding them with flowers and distributing sweets.
The operation of this new train will not only benefit the religious travelers but will also give a new wing to the trade activities, business exchanges and tourism industry between Jharkhand and Odisha. Huge enthusiasm is being seen among the local youth and businessmen regarding this train passing through the area of the President’s native village. People say that with better rail connectivity, the economic development of the area will be faster and the travel routes will become easier for tourists coming from outside. Railway officials have also assured that in the coming time, considering the number of passengers and demand, the frequency of trains on this route can be further increased. Overall, this new train service is going to prove to be a historic and milestone in the direction of development and public convenience of Eastern India, which will directly benefit the passengers of every category.
