Prayagraj. On Wednesday, regional dignitaries led by senior journalist Madhukar Dwivedi submitted a five-point memorandum to the station superintendent, demanding stoppage of major passenger trains at Shankargarh railway station. Through the memorandum, a demand was made to ensure stoppage of other important trains including Kamayani Express, Pawan Express, Mahanagari Express and Subedarganj-Hazrat Nizamuddin Express at Shankargarh station.
The memorandum said that Shankargarh railway station is located on the border of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Thousands of passengers travel here every day, but due to non-stoppage of many important passenger trains, people have to face a lot of problems. In this regard, demands were raised several times in the past by submitting memorandums to the railway officials, but till now no concrete action has been taken.
Senior journalists Madhukar Dwivedi and Pradeep Singh said that many industrial establishments including cement plants and power plants are operating in Shankargarh area, where thousands of employees are employed. Due to non-stoppage of trains, employees and common passengers have to travel from Prayagraj, Manikpur or other railway stations. If the stoppage of these important trains is ensured at Shankargarh, then thousands of passengers of the area will get relief.
He appealed to the Railway Administration to seriously consider the demands in public interest and take necessary action soon. On this occasion, many people including Pradeep Singh, Trijugi Kant Mishra, Krishna Kumar Singh, Riyazuddin Khan, Harishankar Singh, SP Singh, Samarjeet Singh, Dinesh Dwivedi, Harishankar Srivastava, Masuria Din Verma were present.
