Residents of Pachamba, a suburb of Giridih, are demanding that the Intercity Express train stop at Salaia station. This demand has been amplified since the train's launch, with people from Pachamba and surrounding areas advocating for the stop. Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Sarfaraz Ahmed has met with the Railway Minister, urging...

for stops at Salaia and Maheshmunda for the Intercity Express, and also for a stop at Madhupur for the Vande Bharat Express. The demand has been welcomed by residents of Pachamba and surrounding areas, who hope that the minister's assurance of the stop's implementation will benefit them, especially residents of villages in the Gandiy area, Maheshmunda, and those in Pachamba. The stop is seen as beneficial to the city's residents, as the New Giridih station is located further away, and especially for those in surrounding villages, for whom accessing it in the evening can be difficult. The demand for the stop has also been raised to improve accessibility for numerous villages, such as Teloda, Khawa, Suggsar, Pahadpur, and Jitpur, whose residents currently need to travel to New Giridih station, which poses a significant challenge.

Giridih ke Pachamba, ek suburb mein, logon ka demand hai ki Intercity Express train Salaia station pe ruk jaaye. Train start hone ke baad se, Pachamba aur uske aas-paas ke log continuously Salaia station pe stop ke liye maang rahe hain. Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Sarfaraz Ahmed ne Railway Minister se...

baat ki hai aur Salaia aur Maheshmunda pe Intercity Express ka stop aur Madhupur pe Vande Bharat Express ka stop ke liye kaha hai. Is demand ka Pachamba aur uske aas-paas ke logon ne swagat kiya hai aur unko umeed hai ki minister ne yeh assure kiya hai ki yeh stop jaldi hi start ho jaayega. Isse Gandiy area, Maheshmunda aur Pachamba ke villages ke logon ko fayda hoga. City ke logon ke liye bhi yeh stop bahut beneficial hai, kyunki New Giridih station bahut dur hai, aur especially surrounding villages ke liye, evening mein uss station tak pahunchna mushkil hota hai. Is stop ke liye demand teloda, Khawa, Suggsar, Pahadpur, and Jitpur jaise kai villages ke liye bhi kiya gaya hai, kyunki unke logon ko New Giridih station jaana padta hai, jo ki bahut difficult hai.

Giridih, a town in Jharkhand, has been lacking direct train connectivity to Kolkata and Patna since the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Despite having a long history of railway presence, dating back to the British era, Giridih has only had temporary train services connecting it to these cities. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha...
more...
MP Dr. Sarfaraz Ahmad, who had previously raised this issue in the Lok Sabha in 1980, brought it up again in the Rajya Sabha, demanding direct train services. He also highlighted the lack of attention paid to Giridih's railway needs by both the NDA government and the local representatives over the years. Currently, residents of Giridih have to travel to nearby towns like Dhanbad, Madhupur, or Parasnath to access train services. Dr. Ahmad also criticized the lack of stops for the Vande Bharat Express in Madhupur and the poor implementation of the Giridih-Ranchi intercity train service. He further criticized the practice of microphones being switched off when opposition members raise concerns in Parliament. Dr. Ahmad submitted a memorandum to the Railway Minister, demanding better connectivity for Giridih.

Giridih, Jharkhand mein, 2020 ke COVID-19 lockdown ke baad se Kolkata aur Patna tak direct train connectivity nahi hai. British era se railway ka history hota huye bhi, Giridih mein sirf temporary train services thi. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha ke MP Dr. Sarfaraz Ahmad, jinhein 1980 mein Lok Sabha mein...

yeh issue uthaya tha, unhone Rajya Sabha mein bhi yeh baat rakhi aur direct train services ki maang ki. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki NDA government aur local representatives, itne saalon mein, Giridih ke railway ki zarurot pe dhyaan nahi diya. Aaj Giridih ke logon ko Dhanbad, Madhupur, ya Parasnath jaana padta hai train services ke liye. Dr. Ahmad ne Vande Bharat Express ke Madhupur mein na rukne aur Giridih-Ranchi intercity train service ke galat implementation ki bhi criticism ki. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki opposition members jab parliament mein concerns uthate hain to microphones band ho jaate hain. Dr. Ahmad ne Railway Minister ko ek memorandum submit kiya, Giridih ke liye better connectivity ki demand karte huye.

family alleges her husband murdered her and dumped her body on the railway track. Her husband, along with their child, has since disappeared. The Mufassil police took possession of the body, conducted a post-mortem at the Sadar Hospital, and handed over the body to her family for the last rites. They are investigating the case. According to the investigation, Juhi was visiting her husband's brother-in-law's house in Sihodih. However, Juhi's father, Kuldeep Sharan, claims there was a dispute between Juhi and her husband. He believes Ranjit murdered Juhi and staged it as a suicide by throwing her body near the railway track. He also alleges that Juhi was being harassed by her in-laws since their marriage in 2021, and that Ranjit demanded money, which he couldn't provide. They had held several panchayat meetings to resolve the issue before finally allowing Juhi to leave with her husband. After discovering her body on the railway track, Kuldeep Sharan found Ranjit's house empty, with things scattered everywhere, and Ranjit gone with their child.

Thursday subah, Mufassil police station area ke Sihodih ke paas, Kodarma-Madhupur railway line pe, ek shaadi shuda aurat ka shav mila. Shav, Bengoabad police station area ke Chinaras village ke Ranjit Verma ki 22 saal ki patni Juhi Kumari ka hai. Kuchh log kah rahe hain ki Juhi Kodarma-Madhupur passenger train...

Mufassil police ne shav ko kabze mein karke Sadar Hospital mein postmortem karaya hai aur baad mein uske shav ko antim sanskar ke liye parijanon ko saup diya hai. Police maamle ki tafteesh kar rahi hai. Jaanch mein pata chala hai ki Juhi apne pati ke jija ke ghar Sihodih mein kuchh dinon ke liye aayi thi. Lehen, Juhi ke papa, Kuldeep Sharan ka kahna hai ki Juhi aur uske pati Ranjit mein vikaas tha. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki Ranjit ne Juhi ki hatya kar di aur use aatmhatya ka roop dene ke liye uski laash ko railway line ke paas phenk diya. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki Juhi ko shaadi ke baad se uske sasural walon dwara pradadit kiya ja raha tha aur Ranjit paise ki maang karta tha, jisko woh pura nahin kar pa rahe the. 2021 mein Juhi ki shaadi Ranjit Verma se hui thi. In sabhi baaton ko lekar unhone kaafi baar panchayat ki thi. Panchhayat ke zariye hi unhone apni beti ko uske pati ke saath bheja tha. Juhi ke shav ko railway line pe pakarne ke baad, Kuldeep Sharan ne Ranjit ka ghar khula pada paya, ghar ke saman asth-vyast bikhre pade the, aur Ranjit apne bacche ke saath farar tha.
