amenities. The Railway Board has issued a directive to all regional railways to rectify this situation immediately. The affected stations include five from the North Eastern Railway (NER), which are Barhni, Cantt, Nakaha, Mankapur, and Mau. Passengers are experiencing discomfort as AC coaches are not pre-cooled before boarding, and charging points for sleeper coaches are only functional while the train is in motion. The NER administration has responded to the Railway Board's letter by initiating efforts to improve these facilities and has instructed relevant officials to prioritize this task.

Indian Railways ne 9 zones mein 30 stations ki list jaari ki hai jahan basic facilities nahin hain, jaise ki AC coaches ke liye charging aur pre-cooling. Isse passengers ko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai. Yeh problem Gorakhpur mein Cantt, Barhni, aur Nakaha stations se train operation shuru hone...

Isme North Eastern Railway (NER) ke 5 stations bhi hain - Barhni, Cantt, Nakaha, Mankapur, aur Mau. Passengers ko dikkat ho rahi hai kyunki AC coaches ko boarding se pehle pre-cool nahin kiya ja raha hai, aur sleeper coaches ke charging points tabhi work karte hain jab train chal rahi hoti hai. NER administration ne Railway Board ke letter ka jawab dete hue, yeh facilities improve karne ke liye kaam shuru kar diya hai aur officials ko yeh kaam priority pe karne ka order diya hai.

at Gorakhpur Junction, which has been facing increasing pressure from a growing number of trains. The Gorakhpur-Asansol Express is also being considered for extension to Bahraich. This would create a direct train connection to Bahraich, which currently requires passengers to change trains at Gonda. The extensions will not only improve connectivity for passengers but also alleviate congestion at Gorakhpur Junction.

Indian Railways abhi UP ke Siddharthnagar district mein Barhni tak teen trains ko extend karne ki taiyaari kar raha hai. Yeh trains hain Gorakhpur-Pune, Gorakhpur-LTT aur Gorakhpur-Shalimar Express. In extensions se Barhni aur Gorakhpur ke beech wale stations ke passengers ko in trains ki facility mil jaayegi, aur Gorakhpur Junction pe...

platform space bhi khali ho jaayega, kyunki bahut saari trains aati jaati hain aur space kam pad raha hai. Gorakhpur-Asansol Express ko Bahraich tak extend karne pe bhi socha ja raha hai. Isse Bahraich tak direct train connection mil jaayega, jisko aajkal Gonda pe train badalni padti hai. Yeh extension se passengers ko accha connectivity milega aur Gorakhpur Junction pe bheed bhi kam ho jaayegi.
