Bengal’s First Vande Bharat Express to Make a Pit Stop at Tagore’s Santiniketan

News 18  

West Bengal will get its first Vande Bharat Express from December 30 as the Prime Minister will inaugurate the premium train between Howrah to New Jalpaiguri, with stop at Santiniketan – the abode of poet, philosopher and social reformer late Rabindranath Tagore. In the letter, which he also shared on Twitter, Majumdar wrote: “We are already aware of the train schedule, which will run from Howrah Station to New Jalpaiguri Station with stoppage at New Farakka and Malda Station, but there is a huge demand from the people of West Bengal for a stoppage at Bolpur/Santiniketan Station where world famous Visva Bharati University was established by Visva Kavi Guru Rabindra Nath Tagore and situated at about 200 km from Kolkata.” He said students and tourists from all over the world come to Santiniketan/Bolpur regularly and in absence of any air transport facility, a stoppage of Vande Bharat will be welcomed by everyone. The 22301/22302 Howrah-New Jalpaiguri Vande Bharat Express is an ultra-modern semi high speed train, equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities. The first Vande Bharat Express train was flagged off on February 15, 2019, between New Delhi and Varanasi.
