Member of Parliament Rakesh Singh recently met Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in Delhi and handed over a letter for improving rail passenger amenities and resuming train services halted during the pandemic. During the meeting, MP Singh apprised the Railway Minister of significance of Jabalpur Station in the context of rail transportation in the region. He highlighted vital role of Jabalpur Station as a crucial hub in Mahakoshal region, proposing its transformation into a world-class railway station akin to an airport.

 

MP Singh expressed gratitude for considering approval to upgrade the station. He said Jabalpur serves as a primary railway junction in Central India and is also home to known tourist attraction Bhedaghat. The station caters to a substantial influx of tourists and houses the headquarters of several defence units. Singh said Jabalpur had been operating various train services to different destinations, however, due to pandemic several services had to be temporarily suspended. He stressed the necessity to restart operations of key trains including Jabalpur-Atari Superfast, Jabalpur-Haridwar Superfast, Jabalpur-TEN Express, Katni-Jabalpur-Itarsi Express and Jabalpur-Varanasi Express. He also shed light on importance of Sihora Station within Jabalpur district, a crucial station included in ambitious ‘Amrit Bharat Station’ initiative. Addressing the Railway Minister, MP Singh reiterated his earlier request to establish a new station at Paharua (Chhapra) under Jabalpur Parliamentary constituency.
