Patna, October 2026: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for arranging the operation of special trains between Bhagalpur and Katihar, in both directions.
The Chief Minister said the operation of these trains would make travel more convenient for passengers from Bhagalpur, Katihar, Munger, Khagaria, Naugachia and neighbouring areas. The initiative is expected to reduce travel time and improve railway connectivity across the region.
He added that the special trains would also benefit people travelling during festivals and other important occasions, when passenger traffic generally increases.

The Chief Minister said the Bihar government would continue to coordinate closely with the Central Government to expand and modernise railway facilities across the state.

He expressed hope that the continued expansion of railway facilities would accelerate the state's development and ensure better transportation services for the people of Bihar.
