Indian Railways has approved a new weekly train between Ayodhya Cantt. and which place in Nepal?
- A.Pokhara
- B.Janakpur Dham
- C.Birgunj
- D.Biratnagar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Janakpur Dham. The Ministry of Railways announced that Indian Railways has cleared a weekly passenger service between Janakpur Dham in Nepal and Ayodhya Cantt. in Uttar Pradesh, a run of roughly 604 kilometres through Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Janakpur Dham was chosen because it is revered as the birthplace of Mata Sita, which pairs it naturally with Ayodhya, the birthplace of Prabhu Shri Ram, and makes the line useful for pilgrims on the Ramayana circuit. Pokhara is a hill resort town in central Nepal and is not a terminal of this service. Birgunj and Biratnagar are important Nepali border and industrial towns, but neither is named as an end point of the new train; Raxaul, which lies near Birgunj, appears only as a commercial halt on the route. So of the four, only Janakpur Dham is the Nepalese terminal of the approved weekly service.
