like Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, causing inconvenience. Although special trains operate during festivals, local residents demand regular long-distance train services. They have repeatedly petitioned authorities, but their pleas have been ignored. Recently, however, representatives from the region requested the railway minister to extend the route of an existing long-distance express train on the Gorakhpur-Siwan route via Deoria to include Kaptanganj-Thawe. Positive results are expected soon.

Uttar Pradesh mein Kaptanganj-Thawe rail line, jisko 2011 mein broad gauge mein badla gaya tha, abhi bhi proper long-distance train services nahi hai.

Monday from Udhampur. However, locals are requesting an extension to the service because important festivals like Durga Puja, Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath fall in the following month. The North Eastern Railway has already extended the Lal Kuan-Howrah weekly special train till November 30th and restarted the Chhapra-Amritsar special train for 11 trips between September 20th and November 30th. The discontinuation of the Chhapra-Shaheed Captain Tushar Mahajan (Udhampur) special train on September 30th will cause inconvenience to people traveling home during the festive season from industrial cities like Udhampur, Jammu Tawi, Pathankot, Jalandhar, Ambala, Saharanpur, Roorkee, Moradabad, and others.

Kaptanganj-Thawe rail route pe chalne wali Chhapra-Shaheed Captain Tushar Mahajan (Udhampur) weekly express train, jo four rounds ke liye chal rahi thi, 30 September ko band ho jaegi. Ye train pehle 10 August ko shuru hui thi aur logon ki demand ke kaaran isko 30 September tak badhaya gaya. Ye train...

छितौनी-तमकुही रोड नई रेल लाइन के लिए सर्वे को मंजूरी

The Indian Railways board has approved the survey for a new railway line between Chitauni and Tamkuhi Road, which is part of the Gorakhpur-Lakhnau route. This project was allocated 10 crore rupees in the 2023 budget. The construction of this line was initially started in 2006 but was halted in 2012...

after completion of the section between Panyahwa and Chitauni. This new allocation will allow the remaining section to be completed. The project will connect Gorakhpur-Panyahwa-Chitauni and Tamkuhi Road, benefiting the residents of Kushinagar, including Khadda, Padrauna and Tamkuhiraj tehsils, as well as the neighboring districts of West Champaran and Gopalganj in Bihar. This region currently has limited transportation options, forcing people to travel to Padrauna or Bagaha for train services. Due to the prolonged stoppage of the project, a new survey will be conducted. Additionally, 200 crores have been allocated for the Sahjanwa-Dohrighat line (81.17 km) and 450 crores for the Anand Nagar-Ghugli via Maharajganj line (50 km). These lines will create an alternative route for Gorakhpur station, allowing trains bound for Bihar to utilize the Bhani-Anand Nagar route. A further 450 crore rupees have been allotted for the Bahraich-Khalilabad via Bhinga-Shravasti-Balrampur-Utraula-Dumriaganj-Mehdawal-Bansi line (240.26 km), which will connect Nepal border areas directly to Gorakhpur.

Gorakhpur-Lakhnau route pe chauthi line ke liye survey ko approval milne ke baad, board ne Chitauni-Tamkuhi Road new railway line ke liye bhi survey pe sammati di hai. Is project ke liye July me aaye budget mein 10 crore rupees allocate kiye gaye the. 2006 me is line ka construction shuru...

hua tha, par 2012 me Panyahwa se Chitauni tak ka section complete hone ke baad kam ruk gaya. Is new allocation se baki ka section complete ho sakega. Ye project Gorakhpur-Panyahwa-Chitauni aur Tamkuhi Road ko connect karega, jisse Kushinagar ke Khadda, Padrauna aur Tamkuhiraj tehsils ke residents ko faida hoga, saath hi Bihar ke West Champaran aur Gopalganj district ke logon ko bhi. Is region me transport facility bahut kam hai, isliye logon ko train pakad ne ke liye Padrauna ya Bagaha jaana padta hai. Kyunki project bahut time se band hai, isliye is route pe dobara survey karne ka faisla liya gaya hai. Saath hi, Sahjanwa-Dohrighat line (81.17 km) ke liye 200 crore rupees allocate kiye gaye hain, aur Anand Nagar-Ghugli via Maharajganj line (50 km) ke liye 450 crore rupees diye gaye hain. Ye dono lines Gorakhpur station ke liye ek alternative route banayengi, jisse Bihar jaane wali trains Bhani-Anand Nagar route se chalai ja sakti hain. Bahraich-Khalilabad via Bhinga-Shravasti-Balrampur-Utraula-Dumriaganj-Mehdawal-Bansi line (240.26 km) ke liye bhi 450 crore rupees allocate kiye gaye hain, jisse Nepal border ke ilaqe directly Gorakhpur se judege.
