Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary will dedicate seven trains to the state from Patna Junction, which include three Amrit Bharat Express trains. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will join the program via video conferencing. The Amrit Bharat Express, which has gained a distinct identity as a popular train among the middle class and common people, currently operates 12 services across the country, of which 10 run from Bihar. With the launch of three more Amrit Bharat Express trains, the total will rise to 15, out of which 13 will operate from Bihar. This is a major gift from the Centre to the people of Bihar. The Railway Minister and Deputy CM will inaugurate three Amrit Bharat Express trains – from Muzaffarpur to Charlapalli (near Hyderabad), from Darbhanga to Madar Junction (near Ajmer), and from Chhapra to Anand Vihar Terminal (Delhi). The Muzaffarpur–Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express will be the first Amrit Bharat train from Muzaffarpur to South India, while the Chhapra–Anand Vihar Amrit Bharat Express will become the sixth Amrit Bharat train from Bihar to Delhi. This state-of-the-art indigenous train will provide passengers with a fast, safe, and comfortable travel experience. These trains will strengthen Bihar’s connectivity with different parts of the country, particularly North and South India. Their operations will boost economic activities in the state and create new opportunities in tourism, trade, and employment. Developed by Indian Railways, the Amrit Bharat Express has become a symbol of modernization in the country’s railway system. The train is not just a fast and affordable travel option, but it also comes equippedwith advanced features such as semi-automatic couplers, fire detection systems, sealed gangways, and talk- back units. For the first time, advanced technology has been introduced in non-AC coaches as well for passenger safety. Previously, Bihar had 10 Amrit Bharat trains operational. With the launch of these three new trains, the state’s connectivity will further improve. This marks an important step towards realizing the vision of “Viksit Bihar Se Viksit Bharat” (Developed India through a Developed Bihar). Brief Details of Amrit Bharat Express Trains: 1.
