Railway Minister Flags Off Jalore-Delhi Train, Announces 200 More Services for Rajasthan

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav flagged off the Jalore-Delhi train, saying, "Prime Minister Modi spent his childhood with the railways. 200 more trains connecting Rajasthan are on the way!"

Jalore. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has had a childhood connection with the railways. He wants the railways to expand so much that many new trains are operational across the country. Railway Minister Vaishnav made this statement while addressing a ceremony held at the Jalore district headquarters railway station on Friday to mark the launch of the Bhuj-Delhi via Jalore train service. He said, "As each project progresses, 200 new trains connecting Rajasthan will also be operational. After that, you won't need to put up new posters and banners. Many trains have already been operational. I believe there will be more demand, but we will meet that demand as well." The Railway Minister added that his government has renovated 1,300 railway stations across the country.  Not only this, attention has also been paid to the connection with local cultural heritage. Therefore, the fragrance of the soil has been given accordingly. The Railway Minister also shared maps of several stations with the public.

Jalore MP is strong and courageous...

The Railway Minister said that Jalore MP Lumbaram Choudhary is strong and courageous. He praised Choudhary's efforts and also praised former BJP MPs. He also highlighted the special efforts of RSS leader Prakash Gupta regarding this rail service. The Minister also assured the public of cargo arrangements to promote Jalore's granite trade. Following this, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, MP Lumbaram Choudhary, Chief Whip Jogeshwar Garg, Ahor MLA Chhagan Singh Rajpurohit, Jivaram Choudhary, Narayan Singh Dewal, and Jasraj Rajpurohit flagged off the Bhuj-Delhi via Jalore train.

The Railway Minister then boarded the train and departed for Pali.  A long-standing struggle has been underway. For the first time, a direct rail link between Jalore district headquarters and Jaipur, the national capital, has been operational. This demand has been ongoing for several years, but governments have changed, and the rail service has been stalled. Previous leaders, including Jogeshwar Garg and former MP Devji Patel, have repeatedly drawn the government's attention to the need for a rail link to the capital. Furthermore, individuals associated with rail service struggle committees like Hira Bhandari, Gopal Joshi, and Jagmal Singh, along with Jalore residents with businesses in South India and Delhi, have written to railway officials and the Ministry, demanding the establishment of a rail service between Jalore and Delhi.

Furthermore, over the past two years, MP Lumbaram Chaudhary has personally met with the Minister several times to inform him about this, prompting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav to grant Jalore this significant gift. This rail service is bringing joy to everyone in Jalore.
