Completely agree !! Railways had been ignoring Patiala thinking its a small town, now in the recent news , Patiala Station earned 200cr, which was maximum earnings in 2014-15 in the entire Ambala Division and the station was awarded recently. We just have 22 passenger trains up and down in a day at the max, but freights are the king here with daily freight traffic is of around 40-50 per day.
And I am sure, there would be hardly any student(s), specially from Engg stream, who might not have heard of Thapar University at Patiala.
