Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader, has written to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to request that the Dibrugarh-New Delhi Rajdhani Express be stopped at the Rae Bareli intersection.
In his letter, Gandhi pointed out that while the train already passes through Rae Bareli, passengers from his constituency have long been requesting a halt at the station to ease their travel, especially towards the national capital.
He pleaded with the railway minister to take into account the request to stop trains 20503/20504 and 20505/20506 at the Rae Bareli intersection.
In the letter dated September 3, Gandhi stated, “The people of my parliamentary constituency have repeatedly requested a brief halt, particularly to facilitate travel to New Delhi.”
The MP went on to say that meeting the long-standing demand would help the residents in his constituency with a critical need.
Kishori Lal Sharma, an Amethi MP and personal friend of Gandhi, revealed to PTI on Friday that the former Congress president had sent the letter to the railway minister regarding the matter.
