Demands for a new halt for Kanchanjunga Express in Tripura
The HinduThe main Opposition party in Tripura, the Communist Party of India, along with various organisations and prominent citizens, have requested the Union Ministry of Railways to add another halt for the Kanchanjunga Express at an important station in the State. They appreciated the Ministry’s decision to extend the route to the last station in Sabroom, but they are also demanding a stop at Belonia, the district headquarters of south Tripura. Pranab Sarkar, President of the Tripura Football Association and a prominent citizen, has also requested the personal intervention of the Union Railways Minister for a stop of Kanchanjunga Express at Belonia station. He further added that a decision on a halt at Belonia station would greatly benefit the residents of a large area in south Tripura who often need to travel to Kolkata and other places for medical and business purposes.
