Bihar to Receive Gift of Three New Amrit Bharat Trains and Four Passenger Trains; to Connect Bihar to Telangana, Rajasthan and Delhi: See Details
Bihar is set to receive another major boost in the field of modern rail connectivity. Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary will dedicate seven trains to the state from Patna Junction, which include three Amrit Bharat Express trains. Union Minister Vaishnaw will join the program via video conferencing.
The Amrit Bharat Express, which has gained a distinct identity as a popular train among the middle class and common people, currently operates 12 services across the country, of which 10 run from Bihar. With the launch of three more Amrit Bharat Express trains, the total will rise to 15, out of which 13 will operate from Bihar.
This is a major gift from the Centre to the people of Bihar. The Railway Minister and Deputy CM will inaugurate three Amrit Bharat Express trains – from Muzaffarpur to Charlapalli (near Hyderabad), from Darbhanga to Madar Junction (near Ajmer), and from Chhapra to Anand Vihar Terminal (Delhi).
The Muzaffarpur–Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express will be the first Amrit Bharat train from Muzaffarpur to South India, while the Chhapra–Anand Vihar Amrit Bharat Express will become the sixth Amrit Bharat train from Bihar to Delhi.
This state-of-the-art indigenous train will provide passengers with a fast, safe, and comfortable travel experience.
Previously, Bihar had 10 Amrit Bharat trains operational. With the launch of these three new trains, the state’s connectivity will further improve. This marks an important step towards realizing the vision of “Viksit Bihar Se Viksit Bharat” (Developed India through a Developed Bihar).
