New Passenger Train Connects Jayrambati-Maynapur, Boosts Tourism to Maa Sarada's Birthplace

• Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a new passenger train service between Jayrambati and Maynapur from Singur, Hooghly.
• Jayrambati, Maa Sarada's birthplace, is now on the railway map, making it easier for devotees and tourists to visit.
• The railway project was initiated by then Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee in 2000-01, connecting Tarakeswar to Bishnupur via Jayrambati.
• Construction to Jayrambati was completed last March, with trial runs and safety approvals preceding the official inauguration.
• Currently, one daily train operates between Bankura and Jayrambati; future plans include connecting to Tarakeswar for direct Howrah service.

Why It Matters: New train service to Jayrambati enhances connectivity and accessibility for pilgrims and tourists to Maa Sarada's birthplace.
