Agartala-Anand Vihar Rajdhani Express is set to give Bihar’s Bhagalpur a unique gift in the new year. The Tejas Rajdhani Express will start running from Bhagalpur in January. Bhagalpur is a Grade A-1 station and demand for Rajdhani Express has been high from here for the past two decades. The official booking for the Rajdhani Express has started and tickets are available on waiting list for the initial few days. This will be a weekly train that will run from Agartala to Anand Vihar Terminal via Bhagalpur. However, the wait for a modern train like Vande Bharat will continue, as feasibility studies have been conducted for it.
