In a peculiar incident in Indian railway history, a farmer named Sanpooran Singh from Ludhiana became the owner of the Shatabdi Express train for a brief period. It all started in 2007 when the Indian Railways acquired land for the Ludhiana-Chandigarh rail line, including Sanpooran Singh's land. He was compensated Rs....

25 lakh per acre, while those in a nearby village received Rs. 71 lakh per acre. Challenging this discrimination, Sanpooran Singh filed a lawsuit and won, with the court increasing the compensation to over Rs. 1.5 crore. The Railways failed to pay by 2015, leading the court to order the attachment of the train and station master's office at Ludhiana station in 2017. Sanpooran Singh, along with his lawyers, reached the station to seize the train. However, the railway administration quickly obtained a stay order, limiting his ownership to just 5 minutes. While the case is still ongoing, Sanpooran Singh's name has been etched in history as a train owner, a fact many still find hard to believe.

Indian railway ke history mein ek aisa kisssa bhi hai jiske bare mein jaan kar aapko yakeen karna mushkil hoga. Ek kisaan ek train ka maalik ban gaya tha! Haa, aapne sahi suna. Aajad Bharat ke zamane mein, ek aisa waqt aaya tha jab ek kisaan ek poori train ka maalik...

ban gaya tha. Yeh ghatna 21st century mein hui thi. Punjab ka ek kisaan, Sanpooran Singh, Delhi-Amritsar chalne wali Swarn Shatabdi Express ka maalik ban gaya tha, aur yeh sab railway ki ek galti ki wajah se hua tha.2007 mein, jab railway ne Ludhiana-Chandigarh rail line banane ke liye zameen kharidi thi, toh Sanpooran Singh ki zameen bhi unmein shamil thi. Railway ne har ekad ke liye 25 lakh rupaye diye, lekin paas ke gaon ki zameen ke liye 71 lakh rupaye diye gaye. Is bhedbhav ke khilaf, Sanpooran Singh court mein chala gaya. Court ne muawaje ki rakam badha kar 50 lakh aur fir 1.5 crore rupaye se bhi zyada kar di. Railway ko 2015 tak yeh paisa dene ka order diya gaya, lekin woh yeh paisa nahin de payi. 2017 mein, court ne Ludhiana station par train aur station master ke office ko kurk karne ka order de diya. Is tarah se, Sanpooran Singh train ka maalik ban gaya. Woh apne lawyers ke saath train ko kurk karne ke liye station bhi pahunch gaye.Lekin, railway administration ko yeh baat pata chal gayi aur unhone is order par turant rok lagwayi. Is wajah se, Sanpooran Singh sirf 5 minute ke liye hi train ka maalik rah saka. Case abhi bhi court mein chal raha hai, lekin Sanpooran Singh ka naam train maalik ke roop mein history mein darj ho gaya hai, aur is par aaj bhi log yakeen nahin kar paate.
