Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

The Katra railway station is soon going to be upgraded to the Jumla level. There is a new railway line between Ayodhya and Basti, spanning 67 kilometers, via Shringeri Ashram - Makda Dham, Kaptanganj, Harraya, and Vikramjot railway lines, and the survey work is in progress. Hopefully, the survey will be completed soon, which will reduce the distance from Gorakhpur to Lucknow to 265 kilometers, and the distance from Gorakhpur to Prayagraj will also be reduced from 326 kilometers to just 296 kilometers!

A new railway line of 32 kilometers (from Dariyabad to Budhwal Junction via Kotwa Dham and Jagjivan Sahab Mandir) will provide direct rail service between Ayodhya and Sitapur. This new railway line will reduce the distance between Ayodhya and Sitapur to 181 km, which is shorter than any current route. It will directly connect religious cities like Ayodhya and Varanasi, as well as Sitapur, Mailani, Tankapur, and Dudhwa. There will be less pressure on Lucknow, and there will be a new bypass option that goes up to Shahjahanpur Junction, which will be around 10 km shorter than the current route. Currently, the distance between Ayodhya and Shahjahanpur is approximately 292 km, passing through Barabanki and Lucknow. With the construction of this new route, the distance will be reduced by 10 km. Ayodhya and Varanasi will also be connected through the Dariyabad and Budhwal Junction, as well as Sitapur and Shahjahanpur, Delhi, Muradabad, and Saharanpur, providing a new alternative railway route. This will directly connect Ayodhya and Varanasi to Sitapur and make it easy to reach Kotwa Dham (Baba Jagjivan Sahab Mandir). Is this profitable for the people of Barabanki and its surrounding areas?

They should extend this train to Khajuraho instead of Prayagraj because there is no train service from Lucknow Junction to Khajuraho. So if its extension goes up to Khajuraho, then there will be another train from Ayodhya to Khajuraho via Lucknow-Kanpur-Banda-Mahoba. #khajuraho #CNB #LKO
