Dogra Brahman Pratinidhi Sabha appeals Railway Minister to run special train 10/6/2018 9:01:06 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 6: Dogra Brahman Pratinidhi Sabha today appealed to Railway Minister's Piyush Goel to facilitate the running of special train on Jammu Allahabad link to accommodate huge number of pilgrims from Jammu and Kashmir in the most upcoming prestigious religious congregation of Ardh Kumbh Mela beginning at Allahabad from 14th January to 13th February 2019. " Lakhs of devotees from Jammu & Kashmir state who regard participation in the Kumbh Mela as once in the lifetime opportunity find it very difficult to reach the hallowed destination at the kumbh which has the most religious significance due to lack of direct train," Ved Parkash Sharma president of the sabha while addressing a meeting of DBPS here. Sharma further said that a special train be made to run four times a week between Allahabad (Prayag) and Jammu so that pilgrims are not put to trouble as has happened on the earlier such occasion. Sharma added that Governor Satyapal Malik has also been approached to use his good offices from arranging the same in view of its high spiritual religious significance. Stressing on the need to manage the huge pilgrim traffic, Sharma further said that bookings for the auspicious visit in such special trains may be made in advance and the train in all probability may be named as "Ardhakumbh Mela Train". He requested government to recommend to the centre for immediate setting up of Minority Commission in J&K so that a long pending demand of minorities is fulfilled. Among other who were also present on the occasion included V. N. Magotra, Satya Nand Sharma, Advocate P.C. Sharma, Subash Shastri, Jagan Nath Sharma, Ramesh Sharma, Gurdas Sharma, Dr. Som Nath Magotra, Sat Pal Sharma, Sat Pal Khajuria, Nanak Chand Sharma and others   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
