Who will benefit from this new train service
Local residents believe that more than 50,000 people will get a direct benefit from this service. It will be especially helpful for students going to colleges and traders moving goods. People like G.S. Rai and Komli Devi mentioned that this train will offer a cheaper and safer way to travel compared to other options.
What is the current status of the proposal
The Ranchi Rail Division sent the proposal to the South Eastern Railway headquarters in May 2026. Since a part of the track falls under the East Central Rail headquarters, their final approval is necessary. Once the headquarters give the green signal, the railways will announce the official start date, the timetable, and the ticketing system.
