जबलपुर से रायपुर तक दौड़नी थी वंदेभारत, स्पेशल ट्रेन भी नहीं दौड़ा सका रेलवे

The demand for a regular train service between Jabalpur and Raipur has been ongoing for the past eight years. Initially, a proposal to introduce a Vande Bharat train on this route was prepared before the Lok Sabha elections. However, after the elections, the proposal was shelved due to the long travel...

time and limited seating capacity of the proposed Vande Bharat train. The only train currently operating between Jabalpur and Raipur is the Amarakantek Express, which is often fully booked, making it difficult to secure tickets. The proposal to introduce a Vande Bharat train on the Jabalpur-Balaghat-Raipur route was rejected because of the long journey time and limited seating capacity. However, with the recent introduction of sleeper coaches in Vande Bharat trains, there is renewed interest in running this service. Organizations and representatives from Jabalpur are now urging the railway authorities to introduce a direct train to Raipur. While a new Vande Bharat train route is being explored, the proposal to introduce a Vande Bharat train with sleeper coaches on the Jabalpur-Balaghat-Raipur route has not been approved due to the single-track nature of the route. Efforts are underway to double the track. Currently, there are no direct trains from Jabalpur to Raipur, and the Amarakantek Express, which travels through Jabalpur to Raipur, is often fully booked, with waiting lists even for tickets reserved four months in advance. The senior divisional commercial manager (DCM) of the Jabalpur railway division clarified that the proposal to introduce a Vande Bharat train on the Jabalpur-Raipur route has been forwarded to the railway board for consideration, and a decision will be taken after analyzing all aspects. The chief public relations officer (CPRO) of the West Central Railway, stated that the decision to introduce a Vande Bharat train is taken by the railway board and the Prime Minister's Office. The former Zonal User Railway Consultative Committee (ZURCC) member, Dr. Sunil Mishra, expressed disappointment about the lack of effort from the division and zone to introduce a Vande Bharat train on the Jabalpur-Balaghat-Raipur route, highlighting the need for a direct and convenient train service between the two cities.

Jabalpur aur Raipur ke beech regular train service ke liye maang aath saal se chal rahi hai. Pehle Lok Sabha election se pehle Jabalpur se Raipur tak Vande Bharat train chalane ka proposal banaya gaya tha, par election ke baad yeh proposal shelved ho gaya kyunki proposed Vande Bharat train mein...

travel time zyada tha aur seating capacity kam thi. Jabalpur se Raipur jaane ke liye bas ek train chalti hai, Amarakantek Express, jo aise hi booked ho jaati hai, ticket milna mushkil hota hai. Jabalpur se Balaghat hote hue Raipur tak Vande Bharat train chalane ka proposal reject kar diya gaya kyunki journey time zyada tha aur seating capacity kam thi. Par, sleeper coach aane se Vande Bharat mein, ab iss route par train chalane ki demand badh gayi hai. Jabalpur ke organisations aur representatives ab railway authorities se Raipur tak direct train chalane ke liye request kar rahe hai. Naya Vande Bharat train route explore karne ke liye effort chal rahe hai, par Jabalpur-Balaghat-Raipur route par sleeper coach wali Vande Bharat train chalane ke liye approval nahi mil payi kyunki yeh route single-track hai. Double track karne ke liye effort chal rahe hai. Is samay, Jabalpur se Raipur ke liye koi direct train nahi hai, aur Amarakantek Express, jo Jabalpur se Raipur jaati hai, aise hi full booked ho jaati hai, waiting lists bhi aati hai, chaar mahine pehle booking karne par bhi. Jabalpur railway division ke senior divisional commercial manager (DCM) ne confirm kiya ki Jabalpur-Raipur route par Vande Bharat train chalane ka proposal railway board ko bhej diya gaya hai, aur sabhi aspects analyse karne ke baad, decision liya jaayega. West Central Railway ke chief public relations officer (CPRO) ne bataya ki Vande Bharat train chalane ka decision railway board aur PMO lete hai. Former Zonal User Railway Consultative Committee (ZURCC) member, Dr. Sunil Mishra ne division aur zone se disappointed dikhayi, unhone Jabalpur-Balaghat-Raipur route par Vande Bharat train chalane ke liye effort nahi kiya jaane par narazgi dikhayi, aur dono shaharon ke beech direct aur convenient train service ki zaroorat bataayi.
