Plea to resume Hills Queen Silchar: A

SILCHAR: A delegation of Public Services Forum (PSF) has met Northeast Frontier Railway general manager Keshav Chandra to highlight the problems arising out of suspension of the Hills Queen Special Train which plies between Lumding and Lower Haflong.

The train is not operating for more than a month now. Led by president Kulendra Daulagupu and joint secretary Liton Chakraborty, the members of the organization on Friday told Chandra that the people of Dima Hasao district are been facing a lot of hardships following suspension of the service as the train serves as link to the Jana Satabdi Express, thereby providing better connectivity between Guwahati and Haflong.

Since the introduction of this special train in 2008, it has always benefited students pursuing higher studies, patients undergoing treatment in Guwahati and traders. The prolonged period of suspension of this train has badly affected the socio-economic life of the people of Dima Hasao district, said the members of the delegation.
