Train

Chirimiri BJP workers recently met with Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, urging the reattachment of three coaches to the Durg-Ambikapur train. The workers presented a memorandum highlighting the difficulties faced by passengers due to the discontinued service, which had been operational before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background of the Demand

Prior to the pandemic, three coaches from Chirimiri were attached to the Durg-Ambikapur train. However, this service was discontinued during the pandemic and has not been reinstated, causing significant inconvenience for travelers. The workers emphasized the challenges faced by rail passengers, particularly students and professionals traveling to Raipur or other cities.

Key Issues Highlighted

  1. Increased Travel Costs: Without direct train services, travelers are forced to use alternate means of transport, which are significantly more expensive.
  2. Time Consumption: Train services would save both time and money for regular commuters, especially those traveling for education and employment.
  3. Urban Connectivity: Despite being a Municipal Corporation, Chirimiri lacks adequate rail connectivity, affecting the overall development of the region.

Memorandum Submission

The BJP Koriya Mandal delegation met with the Health Minister at his residence, explaining the pressing need for the reattachment of the coaches. They stated that more than two years have passed since the pandemic ended, and it is high time to restore and improve transportation facilities in the region.

Minister’s Assurances

Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal assured the delegation that their concerns would be taken seriously. He promised to discuss the issue with the relevant authorities and extend all possible support to address the matter.

Public Demand for Improved Rail Connectivity

Local residents have also voiced their demands, highlighting how the absence of direct train services impacts students commuting to colleges and individuals traveling for work. Reinstating the coaches would not only reduce expenses but also enhance accessibility, making it easier for people to travel between Chirimiri and major cities like Raipur.

The demand for reattaching three coaches to the Durg-Ambikapur train reflects the need for better rail connectivity in Chirimiri. As a municipal hub, the city deserves enhanced transportation facilities to support its residents. With the Health Minister’s assurance, residents and BJP workers hope for a positive outcome in the near future.
