Amritsar:
Even as the Indian Railways has launched a new train connecting the Amritsar city with Takht Sri Hazur Sahib in Nanded (Maharashtra), passengers rue that the long distance Amritsar-Nanded Express does not have a pantry car to serve freshly-cooked food.Amritsar-Nanded Express departs on every Monday and returns on Wednesday. Gurbaksh Singh, a passenger who returned here by the train yesterday, said he preferred the train as its route was a little shorter than the daily Sachkhand Express.However, he was surprised after knowing that there was no pantry in the train. He urged the Railway authorities to introduce pantry.Sachkhand Express takes about 35 hours to cover nearly 2,081 km. While the newly-launched Amritsar-Nanded Express takes a little over 33 hours to cover a distance of 1,941 km.
