Less trains for Delhi-Guwahati: Passengers suffering

Delhi-Bound North East Express
People of North East always suffer from less rail transportation and they have to fight for reservation. While north eastern regions are integral part of India and maximum military and civilian transportation being go on 365 days from Delhi to Guwahati and Guwahati to Delhi. All trains of north east region pass through the Bihar and West Bengal. People who belongs to eastern Bihar and northern Bengal are step in those trains of Delhi-Guwahati because there is not enough trains for those region, except two or three trains. Thus, they prefer to those trains. Even Rail Ministry knows very well that people from Bihar and Bengal comes in maximum number for the purpose of service and education.

Interestingly, every zone gets new more trains for reducing crowd and easier transportation, whenever Rail Budget proposed in Parliament, but north east doesn't get a single train. Its bad luck to our Railway that every ministers make focus on their area and introduce new trains, whenever a Rail Minister takes oath, while they should work without partiality because he lives in one nation and one interest.

While north east zone needs more train to make easier transportation for the public interest. Still there is only four direct trains (Brahamput Mail, Northeast Express, Awadh Assam Express and including Rajdhani Express) for Delhi-Guwahati, and a single train (Mahananda Express)to Alipurdwar Jn from Delhi. While two more weekly trains are NJP-Anand Vihar and Kishanganj-Ajmer (Via Delhi). Even day to day crowds become the subject worry in north east area for Delhi arrival.

Actually the reason of crowd is that all the trains are full of maximum number of commuters from Barauni, Begusarai, Kathiar, Kishanganj. Migration ratio is very high toward Delhi for the purpose of education and service. The story is not stopped here obviously Railway generates the more revenue from ticketing because more people make journey every single day. Instead of this government's third eye is not being turned with new trains towards north east zone.
