রামপুরহাট থেকে দিল্লি সরাসরি ট্রেন পরিষেবা চালু করার প্রস্তাব দেত্তয়া উচিত ও যা সম্পূর্ণ যুক্তিসঙ্গত এবং প্রয়োজনীয়। এলাকাবাসী এবং যাত্রীদের সুবিধার্থে এই ধরনের সংযোগ চালু করা উচিত, বিশেষ করে যখন রাধিকাপুর, গড্ডা এবং মধুপুরের মতো স্থানগুলি ইতিমধ্যেই দিল্লির সঙ্গে সরাসরি সংযোগ স্থাপন করেছে। যেহেতু জসিডিহ থেকে এমনকি গোয়ার মতো দূরবর্তী গন্তব্যের ট্রেন পরিষেবা চালু আছে, রামপুরহাটের মতো একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শহর থেকে দিল্লির ট্রেন পরিষেবা না থাকা এক ধরনের অবহেলার ইঙ্গিত দেয়। এটি শুধু যাত্রীদের সুবিধা নয়, এই অঞ্চলের আর্থ-সামাজিক উন্নতির জন্যও অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।
