Marathwada Passengers Oppose Nanded-Pune Express Shortening
The Central Railway has decided to stop the Nanded-Pune Express at Hadapsar instead of Pune Junction starting January 26.
This change has upset many passengers from the Marathwada region who regularly use this train for travel to Pune.
They are concerned because Hadapsar is not well-connected by public transport early in the morning, forcing them to use expensive private taxis.
Passenger groups are protesting this decision, saying it will cause a lot of trouble, especially for women, students, and senior citizens.
They want the railway to reverse this decision and continue the train service up to Pune Junction.
Central Railway will stop the Nanded-Pune Express at Hadapsar instead of Pune Junction from January 26.
Passengers from Marathwada region are upset as they will need to arrange further transport from Hadapsar.
The change will cause inconvenience, especially for women, students, and senior citizens.
Passenger organizations are protesting the decision and threatening agitation if it is not reversed.
The train reaches Hadapsar at 4:30 AM when public transport is not available, forcing passengers to use expensive private taxis.
