Even North Bengal... where are the new trains? One lone single SMVB bound Amrit Bharat (filled with slags)? Talking about Malda only (Divisional HQ), where is the long pensing demand of a superfast train to Delhi or Kerala fulfilled? Even the lone single daily train to Delhi Farakka Exp is now belonging to Balurghat (NFR division), where is the replacement of that? For time being they introduced some summer specials to Delhi, even those are now almost gone! Some years back there also was a Malda - TVC special, many thought that train would be regularized, it's gone now!
Lesser...
more... spoken about BJP Dominated North Bengal, the better. Most Railway-Accident Prone region in the entire country, yet this route is in least priority of Railways for KAVACH implementation. Apart from couple of VBs, what has North Bengal actually gained in all these years? Siliguri Jn (SGUJ) is still far from becoming a full scale junction terminal, no SF/Premium trains to Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Gujarat, Rajasthan despite long pending demands. Complete dependence on Assam/NE trains, which already come packed up from GHY side. Couple of years back there was official news for introduction of Suburban EMU Local train service from Siliguri/NJP... Any updates on that? (attaching the news link for everyone's reference here, in case people have already forgotten).
I understand if South Bengal is not getting any new service, but what about LOYAL North Bengal - what has North Bengal got in the last 10 years? NJP, SGUJ, APDJ, NCB, MLDT, RDP/RGJ... even there was also news circulating of Jalpaiguri Road to be upgraded into a small-scale terminal. The only thing North Bengal has seen in all these years is Balurghat getting a new train (was proposed long back - everyone knew Gour would become LHB, so no slip service to BLGT would be possible), and only extension of Farakka Express... All this despite BLGT having the State President of BJP who is also an MP + MoS... Has that Chhapri-Pramanik with his Chhapri Hair Style, the ex-MP from CoochBehar been involved in even a single railway project from his constituency?
Only BIG WORDS, but ZERO Development of North Bengal - Zero Central Assistance (despite being a vulnerable and strategic zone for entire country's Defence and Trade Sectors), and all this after getting massive mandate in BJP's favour repeatedly... If you don't do anything, why do you expect people to vote you?
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, what's up with North Bengal man? Where the heck are the new trains at? We got only one freakin' train goin' to SMVB, the Amrit Bharat, and it's always packed! And how 'bout Malda? We've been demandin' a superfast train to Delhi or Kerala forever, where's that at? The only daily train to Delhi, Farakka Exp, got moved to Balurghat, like where's the replacement for that? They brought in some summer specials to Delhi, but now they're gone too! Remember that Malda - TVC special? People thought it'd be regular, but it just vanished!
Don't even get me started on BJP in North Bengal, it's a mess. It's like the most accident-prone region when it comes to trains, but Railways ain't doin' jack to implement proper safety measures. Besides a few VBs, what has North Bengal actually gained in all these years? Siliguri Jn (SGUJ) ain't even a proper terminal yet, and there are no SF/Premium trains to major cities despite us askin' for ages. We're just relyin' on Assam/NE trains that are all jampacked from the GHY side. There was talk about a Suburban EMU Local train from Siliguri/NJP, anyone heard about that lately?
I get it if South Bengal ain't gettin' new stuff, but what about us loyal folks in North Bengal? In the last decade, all we got was Balurghat gettin' a new train and an extension of Farakka Express. And that's with the State BJP President and MP + MoS from the area! Has that fancy-talking Pramanik dude from CoochBehar done anything for the railway projects there?
It's all talk, no action in North Bengal - zero central help despite bein' crucial for defense and trade. And this is aft getting huge votes for BJP! If you ain't doin' anything for us, why should we vote for you again?
please wait...Translate to HindiEven North Bengal... kahan hain new trains? Sirf ek hi SMVB se chalne wali Amrit Bharat (jo slag se bhari hai)? Sirf Malda ke baare mein baat ho rahi hai (Divisional HQ), kahaan hai woh superfast train ki lambi demand for Delhi ya Kerala ko puri karne ki? Ab to Delhi jaane wali ek bhi train Balurghat (NFR division) ki ho gayi hai, uska replacement kahan hai? Thodi der ke liye summer specials ko Delhi ke liye introduce kiya tha, woh bhi ab almost gayab ho gaye hain! Kuch saal pehle Malda se TVC tak ek special thi, log samjhte the ki woh regular hogi, ab woh bhi chali gayi hai!
BJP dominated North Bengal ke baare mein kam baat kiya jaye, accha hai. Puri desh mein sabse zyada railway-hadsa hone wala ilaka, lekin yeh route Railways ke liye KAVACH implementation ki kam priority mein hai. Kuch VBs ke alawa North Bengal ne saari yeh saal mein kya haasil kiya hai asli mein? Siliguri Jn (SGUJ) ab tak ek full scale junction terminal banne se door hai, koi SF/Premium trains Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Gujarat, Rajasthan tak nahi hain despite lambi pending demands. Assam/NE trains par poora nirbhar, jo GHY taraf se already packed up aate hain. Kuch saal pehle Siliguri/NJP se EMU Local train service shuru karne ki official news thi... Koi update hai uske baare mein? (news link attached kar raha hoon sabke liye reference ke liye, agar log pehle se bhool gaye hain).
Samajh aa raha hai agar South Bengal ko koi naya service nahi mil raha hai, lekin LOYAL North Bengal ka kya? Pichle 10 saalon mein North Bengal ne kya haasil kiya hai? NJP, SGUJ, APDJ, NCB, MLDT, RDP/RGJ... choti-moti terminal banne ka bhi news around tha Jalpaiguri Road ka. Ek hi cheez hai North Bengal ne dekhi hai in saalon mein - Balurghat ko ek new train milti hai (bahut pehle propose hui thi - sabko pata tha Gour ko LHB banaya jayega, toh slip service to BLGT nahi hogi), aur sirf Farakka Express ki extension... Yeh sab kuch despite BLGT me BJP ka State President hai jo MP + MoS bhi hain... Kya woh Chhapri-Pramanik apne Chhapri Hair Style ke saath, CoochBehar ke ex-MP ne ek bhi railway project mein involve hua hai apne constituency se?
Sirf BADE LAFZE, lekin North Bengal ka koi vikas nahi - Zero Central Assistance (despite being a vulnerable and strategic zone for entire country's Defence and Trade Sectors), aur yeh bhi BJP ke favour mein massive mandate milne ke baad... Agar tum kuch nahi karte, toh log ko vote kyun expect karte ho?
