The East Central Railway (Hajipur) and Eastern Railway (Kolkata) administrations have jointly introduced a new Intercity train service between Patna and Dumka, benefiting passengers traveling through Kiul, Jamalpur, and Bhagalpur. This service utilizes the existing Train No. 13329/30, the Patna-Dhanbad Ganga Damodar Express, by extending its route from Patna via Kiul,...

Jamalpur, and Bhagalpur to Dumka. The train will operate as an Intercity, completing a round trip between Patna and Dumka in a single day. This decision aims to prevent the Ganga Damodar Express from idling in Patna for 15 hours, allowing it to be efficiently utilized for the Patna-Dumka route. The revised proposal for this service was approved on December 28, 2023, by the Eastern Railway's Chief Transport Planning Manager, AK Satpathy, and sent to the East Central Railway administration. The exact commencement date is yet to be announced. The new Patna-Dumka Intercity train will depart daily from Patna at 6:40 AM, reaching Kiul at 8:52 AM, Jamalpur at 10:00 AM, Bhagalpur at 11:05 AM, and Dumka at 1:30 PM. The return journey starts from Dumka at 2:05 PM, arriving in Bhagalpur at 4:32 PM, Jamalpur at 5:30 PM, Kiul at 7:03 PM, and reaching Patna at 9:45 PM. The train will also stop at smaller stations like Abhayapur, Sultan Ganj, and Barahat. The initiative to extend the Ganga Damodar Express to Dumka was driven by the demand from Munger MLA, Pranav Kumar, who had previously requested the East Central Railway (Hajipur) administration to operate the train to either Bhagalpur or Dumka. The East Central Railway had granted approval, but final clearance was pending from the Eastern Railway (Kolkata). On December 28, 2023, the Eastern Railway's General Manager, Amar Prakash Dwivedi, granted the necessary approval after a meeting in Kolkata. This will ensure that the Ganga Damodar Express is effectively utilized, benefiting residents of Jamalpur, Munger, Bhagalpur, and Dumka, as well as those from 14 districts. The Eastern Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Kaushik Mitra, confirmed that an Intercity train service between Patna and Dumka was requested, and the East Central and Eastern Railway administrations approved the utilization of the Ganga Damodar Express train for this purpose. The official start date of the service will be announced shortly.

East Central Railway (Hajipur) aur Eastern Railway (Kolkata) administration ne Patna aur Dumka ke beech ek new Intercity train service shuru kiya hai. Ye service Kiul, Jamalpur aur Bhagalpur se travel karne wale passengers ke liye faydemand hai. Ye train, Train No. 13329/30, Patna-Dhanbad Ganga Damodar Express, ko Patna se...

Kiul, Jamalpur, aur Bhagalpur se hota hua Dumka tak extend kiya gaya hai. Ye train ek Intercity train ki tarah chalegi aur Patna aur Dumka ke beech ka round trip ek hi din mein complete karegi. Is decision ka matlab hai ki Ganga Damodar Express ko Patna mein 15 ghante tak bekar nahin rukna padega, aur isse Patna-Dumka route ke liye efficient tarike se use kiya ja sakega. Eastern Railway ke Chief Transport Planning Manager, AK Satpathy ne 28 December 2023 ko is revised proposal ko approved kiya aur East Central Railway administration ko bheja. Train start karne ki exact date abhi announce nahin hui hai. New Patna-Dumka Intercity train, har roz Patna se 6:40 AM par chalegi, aur Kiul par 8:52 AM, Jamalpur par 10:00 AM, Bhagalpur par 11:05 AM, aur Dumka par 1:30 PM par pahuchegi. Return journey Dumka se 2:05 PM par shuru hoga, Bhagalpur par 4:32 PM, Jamalpur par 5:30 PM, Kiul par 7:03 PM, aur Patna par 9:45 PM par pahuchega. Ye train, Abhayapur, Sultan Ganj, aur Barahat jaise chhote stations par bhi rukti hai. Ganga Damodar Express ko Dumka tak extend karne ka idea, Munger MLA, Pranav Kumar ki demand se aaya hai. Unhone pehle East Central Railway (Hajipur) administration se train ko Bhagalpur ya Dumka tak operate karne ke liye request kiya tha. East Central Railway ne approval de diya tha, par Eastern Railway (Kolkata) se final clearance ka wait tha. 28 December 2023 ko, Eastern Railway ke General Manager, Amar Prakash Dwivedi, ne Kolkata mein meeting ke baad necessary approval de diya. Isse Ganga Damodar Express ko effectively use kiya ja sakega, jisse Jamalpur, Munger, Bhagalpur, aur Dumka ke residents, aur 14 districts ke residents ko fayda hoga. Eastern Railway ke Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Kaushik Mitra, ne confirm kiya ki Patna aur Dumka ke beech ek Intercity train service ki demand thi, aur East Central aur Eastern Railway administrations ne Ganga Damodar Express train ko is purpose ke liye use karne ki approval de di hai. Service shuru hone ki official date jaldi announce ki jayegi.
