The Dhanbad Railway Division has sent a proposal to the Railway Headquarters to start a new train service between Dhanbad and Saharsa. This move aims to provide direct connectivity to the Kosi region of Bihar, which has been a long-standing demand of the local passengers. The train is planned to run on a weekly or bi-weekly basis once it receives official approval.
What is the proposed route and frequency?
The proposed train will connect several key stations to ensure better accessibility for passengers. The planned route includes the following stops:
| Origin | Intermediate Stations | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Dhanbad | Jasidih, Jhajha, Kiul, Barauni, Begusarai, Mansi | Saharsa |
According to the proposal, the train will operate as a Bi-Weekly or Weekly service to facilitate travel between these regions.
Why is this new train important for passengers?
Currently, there is no direct train connection from Dhanbad to Saharsa. Passengers often rely on the Hatia-Purnia Court Kosi Express, but it is frequently overcrowded and reaches late at night, causing significant inconvenience. This new service will save travel time and provide a safer and more convenient option for people traveling to the Kosi region.
Railway officials believe that this direct link will not only help passengers but also boost regional trade and create more employment opportunities in the Kosi area.
