इंटरसिटी ट्रेन का विस्तार गिरिडीह होते हुए कोडरमा तक हो : राज

Rajkumar Raj, the state president of the Ralojpa, has demanded that the 12383/84 Sialdah-Asansol Intercity Superfast train be extended to Koderma via Madhupur and New Giridih to provide direct train service to Kolkata for the people of Giridih, Jamua and Dhanwar. He believes this is a vital need as there...
more...
has never been a direct train to Kolkata from Giridih despite it being a major city in Jharkhand. This extension would not require an additional train set as the existing train currently sits idle for 9.30 hours after reaching Asansol. By adding 3 sleeper coaches and one 3AC coach, the train could be extended, increasing Indian Railway revenue and improving train travel for the people of Jharkhand.

Ralojpa ke Pradesh Adhyaksh Rajkumar Raj ne yeh maang ki hai ki train number 12383/84, Sialdah-Asansol Intercity Superfast, ko Madhupur aur New Giridih se hota hua Koderma tak extend kiya jaaye, taaki Giridih, Jamua aur Dhanwar ke logon ko Kolkata ke liye direct train service mil sake. Unka maanana hai...
more...
ki yeh bahut jaruri hai kyunki Giridih, Jharkhand ka ek bada shahar hone ke bawajood, aaj tak Kolkata ke liye koi direct train nahi hai. Is extension ke liye alag se train ki jarurat nahi hai, kyunki Asansol pahunchne ke baad existing train 9.30 ghanto tak idle rehti hai. Is train mein 3 sleeper coaches aur 1 3AC coach laga kar, isko New Giridih se hota hua Koderma tak extend kiya ja sakta hai. Isse Indian Railway ki revenue mein badotari hogi aur Jharkhand ke rail yaatriyon ko bhi fayda hoga.
