Title - Extension of Yeshwantpur-Ahmedabad train sought

Letter

In a letter, Mr. Jain has drawn the attention of Mr. Kharge to the fact that in the Railway Budget presented recently, it had been proposed to extend the Yeshwantpur-Ahmedabad weekly AC Express (train number 19405/19406) up to Barmer, but not implemented so far. According to Mr. Jain, the extension of train services, as proposed, would be the first such facility from south to connect the western part of Rajasthan, especially through the Bhinmal-Jalore-Mokalsar-Samdari route. “As the festival and marriage season is fast approaching, I request you to kindly implement the decision already announced in the budget, at the earliest,” Mr. Jain said.
