Assam MP Urges Railway Minister to Reinstate Cancelled Trains for Maha Kumbh

Guwahati, January 24:Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi has written to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, expressing concerns over the cancellation of two essential trains, North East Express (12506) and Brahmaputra Mail (15657), which are crucial for pilgrims from Assam and the Northeast traveling to the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.

The cancellations, scheduled for February 3 and February 5, 2025, respectively, are expected to disrupt travel plans for devotees attending the Basant Panchami Snan on February 3. Many devotees had booked their tickets months in advance and may face difficulties in securing alternatives due to high demand during the event.

Bordoloi emphasized the importance of these trains for pilgrims and urged the Railway Minister to reconsider the cancellations or provide alternative travel arrangements to accommodate the affected passengers. He highlighted the Maha Kumbh Mela’s religious and cultural significance, stressing the need for smooth and accessible transportation for pilgrims traveling to and from the event.
