I am writing in favor of people of Rampurhat that the Maa Tara temple at Tarapith (9 Km from Rampurhat station ) is regarded as one of the 52 Sakti Peethams of India and Rampurhat railway station is one of six NSG3 category railway station in eastern railway and third busiest railway station in Howrah division after Howrah(HWH) and Barddhaman (BWN) due to huge number passengers are used this station the visit the temple. It is well known to all that 13319/13320 Deoghar Ranchi ( Baidyanathdham ) intercity express is extended to Deoghar to Dumka and Dumka city have already dedicated train services to Ranchi as 18619 / 18620 Dumka Ranchi intercity express. So, we are requesting you to extend the 13319/13320 train Dumka to temple town Rampurhat to provide better train services to the visitors of Maa Tara temple. Then this extended train can serve the major hindu...

pilgrims places- Baidyanath temple, Deoghar - Basukinath temple, Dumka along with Ma Tara temple at Rampurhat as Astha Circuit Train or dedicated pilgrims train and obviously this step increases the numbers of passengers of this train. Rampurhat station generated huge revenue for indian railways through dedicated express trains to the state capital Kolkata ( like Rampurhat express/ Rampurhat intercity/ Maa Tara express etc.) but not have any dedicated train services to the other parts of India like Kamakhya Sakti Peetham is connected (like Kamakhya anand vihar express, Kamakhya Ranchi express and so on ). And the same time, Ranchi and other major parts of Jharkhand state get a direct connectivity to Sahibjang loop, North Bengal like Siliguri / Malda and North Eastern India region like Guwahati / Silchar / Agartala through Rampurhat station. The Vananchal Express 13403 / 13404 is the only train running daily between Ranchi to Bhagalpur via Asansol through Sahibjang loop. So, it can be a better option for the railway to improve connectivity by just extending the 13319/13320 train Dumka to Rampurhat. Thank you, we will be happy if you take a look at our point of view.
