Kamal Jain Vinayaka, a resident of Hazaribagh, has written a letter to the Ministry of Railways requesting the operation of the Vande Bharat Express train (number 20887/88) from Varanasi to Ranchi via Hazaribagh for three days a week. Currently, this train travels daily from Varanasi to Ranchi via Gaya, offering no...

benefit to the people of Hazaribagh. He believes that making the train stop at Hazaribagh for three days would allow approximately 50 lakh people to visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. Currently, the residents of Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, and Barkakana lack train connectivity for visiting Varanasi. As the government is trying to connect major pilgrimage sites by rail, running this train via Hazaribagh for three days a week would benefit around 50 lakh people in the region by allowing them to visit the holy city of Varanasi.

Hazaribagh ke Kamal Jain Vinayaka ne Rail Ministry ko ek letter likha hai. Unhone Vande Bharat Express train, number 20887/88, jo Varanasi se Ranchi jati hai, ko hafte mein 3 din Hazaribagh se hote hue chalane ka request kiya hai. Abhi, ye train daily Varanasi se Ranchi, Gaya se hote hue...

jati hai, jisse Hazaribagh ke logon ko koi benefit nahi milta. Unka kehna hai ki agar ye train hafte mein 3 din Hazaribagh se hote hue Ranchi jaaye, toh almost 50 lakh log Kashi Vishwanath temple dekhne jaa sakte hai. Ab toh Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, aur Barkakana ke logon ke paas Varanasi jaane ke liye train ki facility nahi hai. Government bhi sabhi main pilgrimage sites ko rail se jodne ke liye koshish kar rahi hai. Isliye, agar ye train hafte mein 3 din Hazaribagh se hote hue chale, toh almost 50 lakh logon ko dharmanagari Varanasi dekhne ka mauka milega.
