Seeking personal intervention of
Union Railways Minister Mr CP Joshi, Punjab Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh
Badal today urged him to immediately start a Shatabdi Express train on Bathinda- Delhi Route
via Jakhal-Rohtak to facilitate the people of Malwa belt.
In a letter to Mr Joshi, the Chief
Minister apprised him that with the commissioning
of Guru Gobind Singh Oil Refinery, Bathinda has recently emerged as a
Petro-chemical hub in the North India and
establishment of prestigious Central University, Hotel Management Institute
Bathinda etc. had further necessitated the sanctioning of Shatabdi Express
train on this route. He said that the people
of the region especially the residents of Bathinda had been demanding this
train since long adding that that the local residents had been continuously
impressing upon him to take up the matter with the Ministry of Railways to run
a Shatabdi Express from Bathinda to Delhi via Jakhal-Rohtak to facilitate the
people of region for a comfortable and speedy journey towards the national
capital.
The Chief Minister also informed Mr Joshi that as the people
from other states, especially the Army and Air Force personnel, frequently
visit Bathinda due to Air Force Station and Army Cantonment located here to
enable them a hassle free journey to the city. Mr Badal also pointed out that
as several people from the area have to go Delhi for boarding international flights
therefore this train was all the more important for them. Urging Mr Joshi to
run Shatabdi Express on Bathinda-Delhi route forthwith, the Chief Minister said
the starting of this train would usher in an era of economic development and
prosperity in the region.
