New Rail Service from Kota to Ahmedabad: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla inaugurates the green signal
The inauguration of a new railway service connecting Kota to Ahmedabad was a significant event marked by the presence of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who officiated the ceremony. Birla symbolically flagged off the train by giving the green signal, emphasizing the positive impact this railway service would have on thousands of rail passengers. He highlighted that the new route not only enhances connectivity but also paves the way for economic growth and convenience for the residents of both regions.
During the event, Birla shared details about an upcoming Vande Bharat train service that will also be launched from Kota, generating excitement among the attendees. After waving the green flag for the Kota-Asarva Express, he noted that the new railway route would connect important locations such as Bundi, Udaipur City, and Dungarpur to Kota and Ahmedabad. This development is expected to facilitate easier travel for various sectors, including entrepreneurs, traders, patients, and students, thereby fostering greater collaboration and opportunities in the region.
Birla pointed out that there are currently 75 Vande Bharat trains operating across the country, with several already in service. He assured the public that as more coaches become available, additional trains will be launched to further enhance the railway network. The anticipation of the Vande Bharat train from Kota has generated considerable interest, and Birla confirmed that efforts are actively underway to make this a reality in the near future.
Furthermore, Birla elaborated on the ongoing development projects at Kota and Dakaniya stations, which will involve an investment exceeding INR 325 crores. These enhancements aim to provide modern amenities to passengers, ensuring a comfortable and efficient travel experience. The upgrade of several stations within the Kota-Bundi parliamentary constituency—including Ramganjmandi, Lakhedi, Kapren, Bundi, Modak, and Keshavraipatan—demonstrates a commitment to improving transportation infrastructure in the area.
The inauguration of this railway service is a noteworthy step towards improving connectivity in the region, enhancing the convenience for passengers, and stimulating economic activities. With the promise of modern facilities and additional train services on the horizon, residents can look forward to a more connected and accessible future.
