Nakodar is one of the major town in Punjab. It is an industrial hub with an estimated population of one million.
Its 45 years old station and there is a long pending demand for direct connection with national capital.Many NRI reside here and for their journey to delhi airport they only have option to go to either ludhaina or jalandhar. Its peer city like Jagraon, Moga, Kotkapura, Hoshiarpur have already got direct train to Delhi.
Please note that Supreme court, Chandigarh had already issued an order to finalize about direct connection...

It, therefore, seems there is enough demand for Nakodar to Delhi train via Ludhiana. I request to consider following suggestion.
1. New train Nakodar-Delhi express via Ludhiana,Dhuri, Rohtak. It connects remote parts of Punjab with national capital.
2. Slip train to 14011/12(Delhi Hosiarpur express) between Ludhiana and Nakodar. A slip portion consisting of few sleeper and an ac coach could be made to attach/detach at Ludhiana. The slip portion could run as passenger train between Ludhiana and Nakodar. I feel obliged to remind you that there was a slip portion of jammu mail to connect Hosiarpur with Delhi. After introduction of 14011/12, this slip portion of jammu mail is discontinued.
Kindly consider in above alternatives to connect Nakodar with National Capital.
