Kamal Jain Vinayaka from Hazaribagh has requested the Ministry of Railways to operate the Vande Bharat Express (20887/88) three days a week via Hazaribagh station. He argues that the train currently runs daily from Varanasi to Ranchi via Gaya, offering no benefit to the Hazaribagh region. Operating the train through Hazaribagh...

three days a week would allow approximately 50 lakh people to visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. Currently, residents of Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, and Barkakana lack train connectivity to Varanasi for pilgrimage purposes. The government aims to connect all major pilgrimage sites through railways. Operating the train through Hazaribagh three days a week would benefit approximately 50 lakh people by enabling them to visit the holy city of Varanasi.

Hazaribagh ke Kamal Jain Vinayaka ne Rail Ministry ko letter likha hai. Unhone Vande Bharat Express train number 20887/88 jo Varanasi se Ranchi jaati hai, usko hafte mein 3 din Hazaribagh station se operate karne ka request kiya hai. Unka kehna hai ki yeh train Varanasi se Gaya hote hue daily...
more...
Ranchi jaati hai, jisse Hazaribagh area ke logon ko koi benefit nahi milta. Agar yeh train hafte mein 3 din Hazaribagh se hote hue Ranchi jaaye, toh lag bhag 50 lakh log Kashi Vishwanath Temple ke darshan kar sakte hai. Abhi Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, aur Barkakana ke log Varanasi ke darshan ke liye train ki facility nahi hai. Government bhi sabhi main tirth sthalon ko rail se jodne ke liye prayasarat hai. Aise mein, hafte mein teen din Hazaribagh se hote hue train ka chalana chahie jisse lag bhag 50 lakh ki aabadi ko dharmanagari Varanasi ka darshan karne ka laabh mil sakega.
