आम्रपाली एक्सप्रेस व इंटरसिटी ट्रेन को विस्तार करने के बजाय नयी ट्रेन चलायें : तारिक

Katihar MP Tariq Anwar has written to the General Manager of Northeast Frontier Railway, Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, demanding solutions to railway issues in the region. He pointed out that the proposal to extend train numbers 15707 and 15708, the Katihar-Amritsar Amrapali Express, to Jogbani is pending with the Railway Board. This...

train, being the only daily train connecting Katihar and Amritsar, is already operating at over 150% of its capacity. Extending it to Jogbani would further burden the train. Anwar highlighted the lack of new daily trains on this route despite population growth. He suggested the introduction of a new daily train from Katihar to Amritsar or Jammu, passing through Purnea, Araria, Lalitgram, Darbhanga, Narkatiaganj, and Gorakhpur. This would ease the pressure on the Amrapali Express and provide a much-needed alternative for travellers. He also expressed concern over the underutilization of Katihar's four pit lines and the largest railway coaching depot in North Bihar due to a limited number of originating trains. This facility is operating at only 50-60% capacity. Anwar also urged the GM to reconsider the proposal to extend train numbers 15713 and 15714, the Katihar-Patna Intercity, to Jogbani. He suggested introducing a new superfast Rajya Rani or Intercity service from Jogbani if enhanced connectivity is needed. The Katihar-Patna Intercity is already running at full capacity, and extending it could lead to operational issues. Anwar expressed hope that the GM will seriously consider these suggestions and concerns to improve rail services in the region.

paas pending hai. Yeh train, Katihar aur Amritsar ko connect karne wali akeli daily train hai, aur already apni capacity se 150% se zyada chal rahi hai. Isse Jogbani tak extend karne se train par aur pressure badhega. Anwar ne yeh bataya ki is route par population badhne ke bawajood, koi bhi new daily train start nahi ki gayi hai. Unhone suggest kiya ki Katihar se Amritsar ya Jammu tak ek new daily train start ki jaaye, jo ki Purnea, Araria, Lalitgram, Darbhanga, Narkatiaganj, aur Gorakhpur se hoke chale. Isse Amrapali Express par passengers ka pressure kam hoga aur travellers ke liye ek new aur zaruri option available hoga. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Katihar mein chaar pit lines aur North Bihar ka sabse bada railway coaching depot hone ke bawajood, limited number of originating trains ke karan iska pura utilization nahi ho raha hai aur yeh sirf 50-60% capacity par kaam kar raha hai. Anwar ne GM se train number 15713 aur 15714, Katihar-Patna Intercity ko Jogbani tak extend karne ke proposal par bhi reconsider karne ka request kiya. Unhone suggest kiya ki agar Jogbani tak connectivity badhani hai, toh wahaan se new superfast Rajya Rani ya Intercity service start ki ja sakti hai. Katihar-Patna Intercity already full capacity par passengers se bhari rahti hai aur isse extend karne se uske operation mein difficulties a sakti hai. Anwar ne umeed jataayi ki GM in suggestions aur concerns par seriously consider karenge, taki is region ki rail services mein improvement ho sake.

would operate trains up to New Jalpaiguri on the Northeast Frontier Railway. The union believes this will negatively impact the working hours of the Katihar crew, jeopardizing their livelihoods. The memorandum also highlighted the dilapidated state of railway housing in the Katihar Division and demanded immediate action to provide electricity and clean drinking water at all level crossings, particularly those between Kumarganj and Malda. The Divisional Railway Manager has assured the union of a positive response to these concerns, and the controversial order regarding crew deployment has been suspended for now. However, the union plans to continue its protests against the deployment of crew from other zones on the Northeast Frontier Railway and expects a positive resolution from the administration.
