Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi seeks more trains for Assam in the upcoming rail budget.
In a letter to railway minister Sadananda Gowda on Saturday, Gogoi stressed a super fast weekly express train between Dibrugarh and Pune.
This is apart from daily inter-city express trains between Guwahati and Murkongselek, Guwahati and Naharlagun, Rangiya and Naharlagun, Rangiya and Dibrugarh.
He further urged Gowda an alternative railway line stretching from Coochbehar in West Bengal to Abhayapuri in the railway budget, to be presented in parliament on July 8.
Gogoi has requested the Centre to introduce a passenger train between Guwahati and Mendipathar in Meghalaya's Garo Hills and fast daily express trains from Dibrugarh/Guwahati to Mumbai, Guwahati to Vellore/Chennai and Guwahati/Dibrugarh to Amritsar/Jammu.
