Nagpur: The BJP's Railway Passenger Cell has requested Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav to split the 20-coach Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express into two and operate 10 coaches between Nagpur and Nashik.
The demand was raised due to low occupancy in the Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express since its inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 16.
"Splitting the train into two will not only benefit passengers but also boost revenue, religious tourism, and trade," said Braj Bhushan Shukla, chief of the BJP Railway Cell. In a memorandum to Vaishnav, who was in the city on Friday, the BJP Railway Passenger Cell also drew attention to the old demand of establishing a railway medical college in the city.
City Women Morcha chief Pragati Patil, members Dilip Gaur, Dilipbhai Thakral, Ajay Gaur, Nitish Singh, and a large number of officials were present during the meeting. Shukla urged the railway minister to launch a daily Vande Bharat train between Nagpur and Pune, stating that the occupancy in existing trains to Pune has reached a saturation point and private luxury buses are taking advantage of it by charging at will.
The BJP leaders also demanded regularization of the 01139/01140 Nagpur-Madgaon-Nagpur special train, which is already pending with the Railway Board. They also requested the extension of Raipur-Nagpur-Secunderabad Express to Bengaluru, as there is currently no direct train from Nagpur to Bengaluru. A demand was also raised to run the 20912/20911 Nagpur-Indore Vande Bharat on all weekdays, as the train currently runs only 6 days a week.
"We also want train number 15159/15160 Chhapra-Durg Sarnath Express to be extended till Nagpur. This train is stranded at Durg for 8 hours, and extending it will benefit thousands of passengers from Nagpur. The Nagpur-Solapur express was stopped during Covid and should be restarted," said Shukla.
Accepting the memorandum, Railway Minister Vaishnav assured the delegation that he will study these demands and fulfill them to the extent possible.
Central Railway General Manager Dharamveer Meena, DRM Manish Agarwal, and senior officials were present during the meeting.
Shukla pointed out that there are no direct trains from Nagpur to major cities in the north, despite a large number of North Indians living in Vidarbha. After the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the number of passengers has increased, but there is only one weekly train on this route.
The BJP Railway Passenger Cell's demands aim to improve connectivity and convenience for passengers traveling to and from Nagpur. By splitting the Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express, introducing new trains, and extending existing routes, the party hopes to boost tourism, trade, and revenue for the railways while also addressing the needs of the growing passenger base in the region.

Nagpur: BJP ka Railway Passenger Cell Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav se 20-coach Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express ko do hisso mein baantne aur Nagpur aur Nashik ke beech 10 coaches operate karne ka request kiya hai.
Yeh demand Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express mein low occupancy hone ki wajah se uthayi gayi hai, jise Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne September 16 ko inaugurate kiya tha.
"Train ko do hisso mein baantne se nahin sirf passengers ko fayda hoga, balki revenue, religious tourism, aur trade ko bhi boost milega," BJP Railway Cell ke chief Braj Bhushan Shukla ne kaha. Vaishnav ko ek memorandum mein, jo city mein Friday ko the, BJP Railway Passenger Cell ne city mein ek railway medical college establish karne ki purani demand par bhi dhyan khincha.
City Women Morcha ki chief Pragati Patil, members Dilip Gaur, Dilipbhai Thakral, Ajay Gaur, Nitish Singh, aur kai officials meeting mein maujood the. Shukla ne railway minister se Nagpur aur Pune ke beech daily Vande Bharat train launch karne ka aagrahi kiya, yeh batate hue ki Pune jaane wali existing trains mein occupancy saturation point par pahunch gayi hai aur private luxury buses iska fayda uthate hue apni marzi se charge kar rahe hain.
BJP leaders ne 01139/01140 Nagpur-Madgaon-Nagpur special train ko regularise karne ki bhi demand ki, jo Railway Board ke paas pending hai. Unhone Raipur-Nagpur-Secunderabad Express ko Bengaluru tak extend karne ka bhi request kiya, kyunki Nagpur se Bengaluru tak koi direct train nahi hai. 20912/20911 Nagpur-Indore Vande Bharat ko har weekday run karne ki bhi demand uthayi gayi, kyunki yeh train currently sirf 6 din week mein chalti hai.
"Hum yeh bhi chahte hain ki train number 15159/15160 Chhapra-Durg Sarnath Express ko Nagpur tak extend kiya jaaye. Yeh train Durg mein 8 hours tak rukti hai, aur ise extend karne se Nagpur ke hazaron passengers ko fayda hoga. Nagpur-Solapur express ko Covid ke dauraan band kiya gaya tha aur use fir se start karna chahiye," Shukla ne kaha.
Memorandum ko accept karte hue, Railway Minister Vaishnav ne delegation ko assurance diya ki woh in demands par gaur karenge aur jitna ho sake unhe poora karenge.
Central Railway General Manager Dharamveer Meena, DRM Manish Agarwal, aur senior officials meeting mein maujood the.
Shukla ne bataya ki Nagpur se north ke bada shaharon tak koi direct train nahi hai, iske bawajood Vidarbha mein bahut sare North Indian rehte hain. Ayodhya mein Ram temple banne ke baad, passengers ki sankhya badh gayi hai, lekin is route par sirf ek weekly train hai.
BJP Railway Passenger Cell ki demands ka maqsad Nagpur jaane aur waha se jaane wale passengers ke liye connectivity aur convenience mein sudhar karna hai. Nagpur-Secunderabad Vande Bharat Express ko baantne, nayi trains introduce karne, aur existing routes ko extend karne se, party ko ummeed hai ki tourism, trade, aur railways ke liye revenue mein badhawa aayega, saath hi region mein badhte hue passenger base ki jaruraton ko bhi address kiya ja sakega.
