Its very good initiative from Government but it can be more better if it is till #Rampurhat# connected two more pilgrims Tarapith & Basukinath and also generated good revenue.... While no Rampurhat has still direct train to banaras
Also it is good replacement of #13133# sealdah-varanasi upper india express.. I can't understand why government didn't think like that how to reach benefits more and more people????
Please reply bhailog
