runs daily except Thursday. The train has not been seeing the expected passenger numbers, with less than 25% advance booking. Dhanbad residents have been demanding the extension of the train to Varanasi since its launch. Now, Sinha has also raised this demand with the railway general manager, putting pressure on the railways to extend the route. It is believed that the railway may consider the MP's demand positively to increase the popularity of the Vande Bharat.

Dhanbad ke MP Shatrughan Sinha ne Hावड़ा-गया-हावड़ा Vande Bharat Express, jo Dhanbad se hoke chalti hai, ko Gaya ki jagah Varanasi tak chalane ki maang ki hai. Yeh suggestion Asansol mein ek meeting ke doran diya gaya. MPs ne train ke vistar par charcha ki, jo 15 September ko Prime Minister...

Narendra Modi ne launch kiya tha aur Thursday chhodkar har din chalti hai. Train mein expected passenger numbers nahi aa rahe hain, 25% se bhi kam advance booking ho rahi hai. Dhanbad waale pehle din se hi train ko Gaya ki jagah Varanasi tak chalane ki maang kar rahe hain. Ab, Sinha ne bhi Dhanbad waalon ki maang ko railway general manager ke samjh uthakar railway par train ke vistar ka dabaav banaya hai. Maana ja raha hai ki Vande Bharat ki popularity badhane ke liye railway saansad ki maang par positive vichar kar sakta hai.

वंदे भारत को वाराणसी तक चलाएं : शत्रुघ्न सिन्हा

Dhanbad MP Shatrughan Sinha has demanded that the Howrah-Gaya-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, which runs through Dhanbad, be extended to Varanasi instead of terminating at Gaya.

extension of the Vande Bharat Express trains. Sinha, who chaired the meeting, emphasized the need for extending the train's route. The MPs, including Dhanbad MP Dhulu Mahto and Bardhaman MP Kirti Jha Azad, expressed their views on the matter. The Vande Bharat Express, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 15th, runs between Gaya and Howrah via Dhanbad. Operating daily except Thursdays, the train has not been attracting the expected number of passengers, with only a 25% advance booking rate. Since its launch, residents of Dhanbad have been demanding that the train be extended to Varanasi instead of Gaya. Sinha's appeal to the General Manager of Eastern Railways supports this demand. The railway is likely to consider the MP's proposal to enhance the popularity of the Vande Bharat Express.

Dhanbad ke MP Shatrughan Sinha ne maang ki hai ki Howrah-Gaya-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, jo Dhanbad se hoke chalti hai, Gaya pe khatam hone ki jagah Varanasi tak chalaye. Yeh suggestion Asansol mein Divisional Parliamentary Committee ke meeting mein diya gaya. Asansol aur Malda divisions ke MPs ne is meeting mein...

Vande Bharat Express train ke extension pe baat ki. Sinha ne, jo meeting ke chairman the, train route extend karne ki jarurat pe zor diya. MPs, jisme Dhanbad ke MP Dhulu Mahto aur Bardhaman ke MP Kirti Jha Azad bhi shamil hain, ne is matter pe apne views express kiye. Vande Bharat Express, jo Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne 15th September ko launch ki thi, Gaya aur Howrah ke beech Dhanbad se hoke chalti hai. Thursday ke alawa har din chalne wali yeh train, expected number of passengers attract nahi kar pa rahi hai, aur sirf 25% advance booking ho rahi hai. Launch se hi Dhanbad ke residents maang kar rahe hain ki train Gaya ki jagah Varanasi tak chalaye. Sinha ka Eastern Railways ke General Manager se appeal is demand ko support karta hai. Railway, Vande Bharat Express ki popularity badhane ke liye MP ke proposal pe positive विचार कर sakta hai.
