As part of the preparations, Divisional Commissioner S. Rajalingam and Varanasi Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Ashish Jain recently inspected Varanasi railway station along with senior officials. The team reviewed passenger amenities, station infrastructure and operational readiness to ensure smooth functioning once the train is introduced.
The proposed Vande Bharat Sleeper service is expected to benefit thousands of passengers by improving rail connectivity between Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Punjab while providing a modern, efficient and comfortable travel experience for long-distance commuters.
