Extend Unchahar Express to Amritsar or introduce direct train to Prayagraj
The Issue
Every day, thousands of passengers from diverse regions like Bighapur, Takia, Raghuraj Singh, Lalganj, Unnao, Rae Bareli, and Prayagraj embark on journeys to Amritsar, Jalandhar City, and Ludhiana. They travel for opportunities in employment, engaging in business, pursuing education, receiving medical treatments, and visiting family. Currently, the lack of direct train connectivity makes these essential travels arduous, time-consuming, and sometimes costly for numerous passengers relying on the Indian Railway network.
Hon'ble Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and the Railway Board, we anticipate your kind support. We respectfully request Indian Railways to extend Train No. 14217/14218 Unchahar Express from Chandigarh to Amritsar, scheduling the departure at around 6:00 PM. This route extension will not only provide direct and comfortable travel options but will also enhance economic activities in the regions benefiting both personal and commercial travel opportunities.
If extending the Unchahar Express isn’t operationally feasible, we propose introducing a new train or diverting an existing one from Amritsar through Jalandhar City and Ludhiana directly to Prayagraj. This measure will address the pressing need for a seamless connection, thereby enhancing community interactions and economic growth between these crucial areas.
We believe in the power of collective voice and hope that our appeal will be acknowledged and acted upon promptly to bring significant improvements to thousands of daily commuters. Please lend your support to this petition to facilitate a practical resolution for the travel challenges faced. Sign this petition to advocate for better rail connectivity today.
