Title: Need to run Hazar Duari Express daily and provide its stoppages at Dumdum and Barrackpore in West Bengal.
SHRI ADHIR CHOWDHURY (BERHAMPORE, WEST BENGAL): The launching of ‘Hazar Duari’ express train has brought about a cheer among the common people of Murshidabad.
This train will facilitate the tourism in the historically enriched district of Murshidabad. But the euphoria of the people got subsided one the schedule of the train was announced which only runs five days a week thus nullifying the interest of tourists who nowadays prefer to go at the weekend to short distance tourist places. Therefore, my proposals to the Ministry are: (1) to extend the schedule of the train as a daily service (2) A few more stoppages mainly Dumdum and Barrackpore need to be included in order to get tourists from the fringe area of the city and (3) To extend the destination upto Lalgola which is the terminal point of Kolkata-Lolgola section.
