Indian Railways has given a great gift to the passengers of Jharkhand’s major industrial city Tatanagar and surrounding areas. For a long time, there was a demand that a direct train service should be started from Jharkhand to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, which is one of the commercial and cultural centers of the country. Especially for the people of Rajasthani community living in Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha, this was like an unfulfilled dream for a long time. Now after getting the green signal from the Railway Board, an official announcement has been made in this direction and a new direct train service is going to be started via Tatanagar from 26th October. With the running of this new train, not only will the journey of passengers become very comfortable and easy, but the distance between two big states will also reduce to a great extent. All preparations in this regard have been completed by the Railway Administration and a lot of enthusiasm is being seen at the local level regarding the inauguration ceremony.
According to the official information received from the Railways, this new train will run from Santragachi station in West Bengal via Tatanagar, Ranchi and various selected stations of Uttar Pradesh-Bihar to Khatipura railway station located near Jaipur. Operating as train numbers 18601 and 18602, this express train will serve passengers at weekly or regular intervals in both directions. This train will be flagged off for the first time from Tatanagar Railway Station on October 26 in the presence of local MP and senior railway officials. With the operation of this train, not only the people of Jharkhand but also the passengers of the border districts of Bengal and Bihar will get a direct and safe option to go to Rajasthan. Now the passengers are going to get the big benefit of traveling directly to Jaipur by sitting in the same train without any extra hassle.
There is a lot of curiosity among the passengers about the time table and route chart of this new train. According to the proposed schedule, this train will depart from Santragachhi in the afternoon and reach Tatanagar railway station in the evening. After this, this train will move through important stations like Chandil, Purulia, Muri, Ranchi, Lohardaga, Tori, Latehar, Daltonganj, Garhwa, Sasaram, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Junction, Prayagraj and Kanpur. Passing through Uttar Pradesh and Haryana-Delhi route, this train will enter Rajasthan on time and will end its journey at Khatipura station near Jaipur. In the return direction also, the same train will depart from Khatipura at the scheduled time and reach Tatanagar and Santragachhi the next day. Efforts are also being made by the Railways to start its regular booking immediately after the inauguration on the IRCTC portal and Railway Reservation Centers so that passengers can book their tickets in time.
The commencement of this direct rail service between Tatanagar and Jaipur will not only provide convenience to passengers, but will also give wings to business and tourism activities. This train will prove to be a lifeline for the businessmen involved in the trade of industrial products, clothes, handicrafts and marble between Jharkhand and Rajasthan. Apart from this, tourists who want to enjoy the historical forts, palaces and culture of Rajasthan will now be able to enjoy the direct journey without any train change. Officials of Chakradharpur Railway Division say that keeping in mind the increasing number of passengers and facilities, Railways is continuously strengthening its infrastructure. In the coming days, with the doubling of tracks and laying of new lines, punctuality of trains will further improve. At present, there is tremendous enthusiasm among the passengers about this much-awaited train which is going to start from 26th October and everyone seems desperate to witness this historic moment.
