Mokama Railway Public Hearing: New MEMU & Tatkal Demands
During a Mokama railway public hearing, official Shailendra Prasad heard demands for more Tatkal counters and new MEMU train services.
Railway official Shailendra Prasad recently held a Mokama railway public hearing to address the growing concerns of local commuters regarding transport infrastructure and service availability. The interaction allowed residents to present specific grievances aimed at improving the rail experience in the region.
Demands for More Tatkal Counters
One of the most urgent issues raised by the public involves the management of high-demand ticketing. Residents have formally requested an increase in the number of Tatkal ticket counters at the Mokama railway station.
The current facilities are reportedly struggling to keep up with the volume of passengers, making the booking process difficult and inefficient. Expanding these counters is seen as a necessary step to better serve the traveling public during peak hours.
Improving Connectivity with MEMU Services
Beyond ticketing, the community is pushing for enhanced mobility through better train frequency. A key demand submitted during the session was the introduction of new MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) train services.
Locals emphasized that more MEMU services would provide much-needed connectivity, making daily travel more accessible and reliable for the people of Mokama. This move is expected to significantly boost the efficiency of local transport networks.
