Railway News: गोरखपुर के रास्ते दो दिन चल सकती है 'राजधानी', पूर्वोत्तर रेलवे ने दी सहमति

The Rajdhani Express, currently running between Delhi and Dibrugarh via Ballia, may soon operate via Gorakhpur. The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has agreed to run the train for two days a week on the Lucknow-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route. The NFR confirmed that the track is suitable for running the Rajdhani, currently operating at...

110 km/h, at a speed of 130 km/h. The train's route will be diverted from Chhapra to Gorakhpur, with the current schedule of Train No. 20503/04, running from Delhi to Dibrugarh on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, remaining unchanged. Gorakhpur, as a rapidly developing city with various infrastructural projects and tourist attractions, currently lacks a major train connection. The 'Hamen Chahiye Rajdhani' campaign by Dainik Jagran, advocating for the train's route change, has been crucial in achieving this development. The campaign began in September 2021 and gained support from various stakeholders, including representatives, railway staff, and the railway administration itself. The campaign eventually reached the Railway Minister who assured that Gorakhpur would receive the Rajdhani. The NFR's General Manager, who later became the Chairman of the Railway Board, also confirmed in January 2022 that the Rajdhani would be operational on the Gorakhpur route.

Delhi se Dibrugarh jaane wali Rajdhani Express, jo abhi Ballia se hoke jaati hai, ab Gorakhpur se hoke bhi chalegi. Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) ne Lucknow-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route pe do din ke liye train chalane ki haan bol di hai. NFR ne confirm kiya hai ki track Rajdhani ko chalane ke liye...

sahi hai, jo abhi 110 km/h ki speed pe chalti hai, usko 130 km/h ki speed pe chalaya ja sakta hai. Train ka route Chhapra se Gorakhpur kar diya jayega, aur Train No. 20503/04 ka current schedule, jo Delhi se Dibrugarh mangal, budh, guruvaar, shanivar, aur ravivaar ko chalti hai, waise hi rahega. Gorakhpur, ek rapidly developing city hai, jahan pe kaafi saare infrastructure projects aur tourist attractions hain, but iske paas koi major train connection nahi hai. Dainik Jagran ka 'Hamen Chahiye Rajdhani' campaign, jo train ke route ko change karne ki baat kar raha tha, is development ke liye bahut important raha hai. Campaign September 2021 mein start hua tha aur usko kai stakeholders ka support mila, jaise ki representatives, railway staff, aur railway administration. Campaign aakhir mein Railway Minister tak pahuncha aur unhone assure kiya ki Gorakhpur ko Rajdhani milegi. NFR ke General Manager, jo baad mein Railway Board ke Chairman bane, ne bhi January 2022 mein confirm kiya ki Rajdhani Gorakhpur route pe chalegi.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
