Shanta Chhetri’s Special Mention on restoring the DHR service between Darjeeling and Kurseong

Shanta Chhetri’s Special Mention on restoring the DHR service between Darjeeling and Kurseong

Sir, Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site popularly known as “The Mountain Railways of India.” The passenger train that was in operation from Darjeeling to Kurseong on a daily basis is nonoperational since 2019. It had served till then as the lifeline for the hill community apart from being a huge tourist attraction. I humbly request the hon. Railway Ministry to urgently look into the matter and restore the railway services between Kurseong and Darjeeling. Thank you, Sir.
