PRAYAGRAJ, Jan. 12 -- In a major relief for rail passengers, Prayagraj has received two new long-distance Amrit Bharat Express trains, significantly improving direct rail connectivity with Northeast India. Officials say the introduction of these trains will make travel from Prayagraj to states such as Assam and Tripura more convenient and seamless. The two trains include the 11031/32 Panvel-Alipurduar Amrit Bharat Express and the 15671/72 Kamakhya-Rohtak Amrit Bharat Express. With their operation, Prayagraj's long-distance rail network has been further strengthened, offering passengers direct connectivity without the need for multiple train changes, officials added. According to orders issued by the railway board, both trains will operate as per their scheduled timings. The Panvel-Alipurduar Amrit Bharat Express will depart from Panvel on Mondays and reach Alipurduar Junction on Wednesdays, with a scheduled halt at Prayagraj Chheoki railway station. The Kamakhya-Rohtak Amrit Bharat Express (15671) will operate on a weekly basis and will halt at Rambagh and Prayagraj Junction, providing additional convenience to travelers from the city. NCR's chief public relations officer (CPRO), Shashikant Tripathi, said that Prayagraj Junction is among the country's major railway junctions, and the expansion of long-distance train services is being undertaken in view of rising passenger demand. htc...
