The Indian Railways has introduced a beneficial development for individuals traveling from Kishanganj to Amritsar. Passengers now have the option of a direct train to Amritsar from Kishanganj, providing greater ease of travel. This new route marks the second direct train to Amritsar from Kishanganj, following the Ajmer route. Alongside the direct service, six additional special trains will also be running through Kishanganj. This railway initiative is driven by the anticipation of increased passenger traffic during the festive season, intending to improve passenger convenience.
In anticipation of a significant surge in travelers in late September and early October, the Northeast Frontier Railway is set to operate seven pairs of extra festive special trains via Kishanganj to manage the expected high volume of passengers and facilitate comfortable travel. The Kishanganj-Amritsar train (05734/05733) will commence its services on October 2, running between Kishanganj and Amritsar.
