Dhanbad residents have been demanding the extension of the train to Varanasi since its launch.

Ab, Sinha ne bhi Dhanbad waalon ki maang ko railway general manager ke samjh uthakar railway par train ke vistar ka dabaav banaya hai.

extension of the Vande Bharat Express trains. Sinha, who chaired the meeting, emphasized the need for extending the train's route. The MPs, including Dhanbad MP Dhulu Mahto and Bardhaman MP Kirti Jha Azad, expressed their views on the matter. The Vande Bharat Express, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 15th, runs between Gaya and Howrah via Dhanbad. Operating daily except Thursdays, the train has not been attracting the expected number of passengers, with only a 25% advance booking rate. Since its launch, residents of Dhanbad have been demanding that the train be extended to Varanasi instead of Gaya. Sinha's appeal to the General Manager of Eastern Railways supports this demand. The railway is likely to consider the MP's proposal to enhance the popularity of the Vande Bharat Express.

Dhanbad ke MP Shatrughan Sinha ne maang ki hai ki Howrah-Gaya-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, jo Dhanbad se hoke chalti hai, Gaya pe khatam hone ki jagah Varanasi tak chalaye.

Vande Bharat Express train ke extension pe baat ki. Sinha ne, jo meeting ke chairman the, train route extend karne ki jarurat pe zor diya. MPs, jisme Dhanbad ke MP Dhulu Mahto aur Bardhaman ke MP Kirti Jha Azad bhi shamil hain, ne is matter pe apne views express kiye. Vande Bharat Express, jo Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne 15th September ko launch ki thi, Gaya aur Howrah ke beech Dhanbad se hoke chalti hai. Thursday ke alawa har din chalne wali yeh train, expected number of passengers attract nahi kar pa rahi hai, aur sirf 25% advance booking ho rahi hai. Launch se hi Dhanbad ke residents maang kar rahe hain ki train Gaya ki jagah Varanasi tak chalaye. Sinha ka Eastern Railways ke General Manager se appeal is demand ko support karta hai. Railway, Vande Bharat Express ki popularity badhane ke liye MP ke proposal pe positive विचार कर sakta hai.
