New Bhuj-Barauni Amrit Bharat Express to Connect Gujarat and Bihar

Chhapra: Rail connectivity in Bihar’s Saran region is set to receive a significant boost with the introduction of a new Amrit Bharat Express between Bhuj in Gujarat and Barauni in Bihar. The Railway Ministry has approved the operation of the train, with a scheduled stoppage at Chhapra Junction, providing passengers from Saran, Siwan and Gopalganj with a new direct rail connection to western India.

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw informed local MP and former Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy about the approval following his efforts to secure the service. Train numbers 19427-19428 will cover a distance of 2,532 km between Bhuj and Barauni and operate three days a week.

The new service will connect major railway centres across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, improving connectivity between western and eastern India.

Rudy said the Amrit Bharat Express was an important addition to railway services, offering modern facilities and an improved travel experience. He said the Bhuj-Barauni service would make travel between western and eastern India more convenient and benefit passengers from the Saran region.

The stoppage at Chhapra Junction is a significant local benefit, providing passengers with an additional rail option to reach Gujarat, Rajasthan and other parts of western India. Rudy described the approval as an important achievement in strengthening railway connectivity in the region. DeshGujarat
