Passengers across Purvanchal, Bihar, Delhi and nearby regions are set to get a major boost in rail connectivity as three new and extended train services are being launched today.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw along with Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, flagged off these services. The launch included a new Chhapra–Delhi (Anand Vihar) express train, a daily Mau–Delhi (Anand Vihar) express, and the extension of the Dohrighat–Aunrihar MEMU service up to Varanasi.
These new trains are expected to improve direct connectivity between major cities and small towns, reduce travel time, and provide better travel options for thousands of passengers in the region.
