Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched seven train services from Bihar on Monday through a virtual ceremony from New Delhi. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary conducted the physical inauguration at Patna Junction. Three Amrit Bharat Express trains will connect Darbhanga with Madar, Muzaffarpur with Charlapalli, and Chhapra with Anand Vihar to serve budget-conscious travelers.
Four passenger trains will operate on shorter routes between Jhajha and Danapur, Patna and Buxar, Nawada and Patna, and Patna and Islampur. Vaishnaw credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for expanding railway infrastructure. Choudhary noted Bihar received approximately 1,000 crore rupees annually for railways under the previous government, but has obtained more than one lakh crore rupees during the past 11 years under Modi's administration.
