met with the DRM and highlighted the issue of non-stoppage of trains at stations in Renukapar. They pointed out that despite the completion of the doubling and electrification of the Chopan-Singrauli rail line, no trains stop at stations like Obra Dam, Fafarakund, Magardah, and Khuldil. The halting of passenger trains, including express and local trains, has been discontinued since the COVID-19 pandemic, causing significant inconvenience to the people residing in the tribal areas of Renukapar. They are forced to travel to the Chopan station, several kilometers away, to catch a train.

Saturday ko, Dhanbad Division ke DRM Fafarakund station pe doubling ka kaam check karne gaye. Is waqt, villagers ne Renukapar ke Fafarakund, Magardah, Khuldil Road aur dusre stations pe passenger trains ke rukne ki maang karne ke liye unko ek memorandum diya.

The Member of Parliament (MP) from Robertsganj Lok Sabha constituency, Chhotelal Kharwar, has requested budgetary allocation for the railway line project connecting Sonbhadra to PDD Upadhyaya Junction (Mughalsarai) via Madhupur and Sukrit. He also requested the Railway Minister to include halts for the Triveni Express at stations between Anpara and Obra....
more...
In his letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the MP mentioned that INR 1260 crore was sanctioned in 2017-18 for laying a new railway line from Robertsganj to PDD Upadhyaya Junction via Madhupur, Sukrit and Ahraura. However, the funds haven't been allocated yet. The survey work for the new rail line passing through Ahraura Bazar near Mahuli Chowraha has been completed. The people of the Ahraura region are demanding the construction of this new rail line. The MP also highlighted that the Triveni Express running through his constituency skips several stations in the tribal region between Anpara and Obra, causing inconvenience to passengers. The train doesn't stop at stations like Fafrakund, Mangardaha, Khuldil Road, and Mirchadhuri, although it used to stop at all these stations earlier. He requested the railway authorities to reinstate halts at these stations. Additionally, he urged the railways to increase the number of general bogies in all trains to improve accessibility for the poor and to make the Ranchi-Rajdhani Express a daily train. He also suggested that the train should stop at Sonbhadra station while passing through the district headquarters. He proposed extending the Shiv Ganga Express to Sonbhadra. Due to non-interlocking work in the Moradabad Division, the Triveni Express will run on a modified route between 14th and 16th August. Train number 15074 (Tanakpur-Singrauli Triveni Express) will operate via Pilibhit, Bisalpur, and Shahjahanpur on 14th and 16th August. Similarly, train number 15076 (Tanakpur-Shaktinagar Triveni Express) will run on the modified route on 15th August. Train number 15073 (Singrauli-Tanakpur Triveni Express) will be operating on the modified route on 13th and 15th August, while train number 15075 (Shaktinagar-Tanakpur Triveni Express) will run on the modified route on 14th August. For these dates, halts at Izzatnagar, Bareilly City, Bareilly, and Bilpur stations have been temporarily removed.

Robertsganj Lok Sabha se Samajwadi Party ke MP, Chhotelal Kharwar ne Sonbhadra ko Madhupur, Sukrit se hota hua PDD Upadhyaya Junction (Mughalsarai) se jodne wali rail line project ke liye budget maang ki hai.

halt bhi maanga hai. Apne letter mein, unhone bataya ki 2017-18 mein Robertsganj se PDD Upadhyaya Junction tak Madhupur, Sukrit aur Ahraura se hota hua new rail line bichane ke liye 1260 crore rupees sanction hue the, lekin paisa allocate nahi hua. Ahraura Bazar ke paas se Mahuli Chowraha ke paas se new rail line ka survey ka kaam poora ho gaya hai. Ahraura area ke log is area se new line bichane ki demand kar rahe hain. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki unke constituency mein aane wali Vidhan Sabha Obra mein Triveni Express Anpara station se bina halt kiye direct Obra station pe aati hai, lekin is beech mein aane wale tribal area ke stations Fafrakund, Mangardaha, Khuldil Road aur Mirchadhuri pe nahi rukti hai. Isse Obra aur Anpara ke main market mein passengers ko aane-jane mein dikkat hoti hai. Pehle yeh train in sab stations pe halt karti thi. Unhone request ki hai ki pehle ki tarah in sab stations pe halt hona chahiye. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki har train mein general bogies badhaye jaaye, taki gareebon ko aane-jane mein aasaan ho. Unhone Ranchi-Rajdhani Express ko daily train banane, aur Sonbhadra ke district headquarter pe aate jaate waqt train ka halt karane ki bhi request ki hai. Unhone Shiv Ganga Express ko Sonbhadra tak extend karne ki bhi demand ki hai. Moradabad Division mein non-interlocking work ki wajah se 14th aur 16th August ke beech trains ke chalane mein change kiya gaya hai. Train number 15074 (Tanakpur-Singrauli Triveni Express) 14th aur 16th August ko Pilibhit, Bisalpur aur Shahjahanpur se hoti hui chalegi. Isi tarah, train number 15076 (Tanakpur-Shaktinagar Triveni Express) 15th August ko modified route se chalegi. Train number 15073 (Singrauli-Tanakpur Triveni Express) 13th aur 15th August ko modified route se chalegi, aur train number 15075 (Shaktinagar-Tanakpur Triveni Express) 14th August ko modified route se chalegi. In dates pe, Izzatnagar, Bareilly City, Bareilly aur Bilpur stations pe halts temporarily remove kar diye gaye hain.
