Also, Wi-Fi service will be available in all the coaches of the train.
The coaches will have automatic sliding doors, LED display boards and bio-toilets.
Speaking to ANI, Shuvendhu Kumar Choudhury, Divisional Railway Manager, Katihar division, NFR said, "The Indian Railway has introduced advanced coaches with all necessary needs that shall run between New Jalpaiguri to Alipurduar twice in a week.The response is quite good, all the tickets were sold out for the next three days and this service will definitely help in enhancing tourism infrastructure and boosting the tourism industry."
"John Barla, MP from Alipurduar and Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs, said, "It is a very good initiative taken by the Indian Railway. The Union government is always trying to develop states in a cordial atmosphere, but here in West Bengal, the Centre always faces restrictions in the implementation of welfare schemes, which affects development in the state and has a direct impact on its people."
