Two Bihar Districts Await First Train After Two Decades of Promises

Imagine a town where people have been promised a train station for a very long time, like when you were a baby!

In two places in India, called Sheohar and Arwal, people are still waiting for their first train.

They remember when politicians promised to build train tracks to connect their towns.

But even after many years, and many elections where the promise was made again, the trains haven't arrived.

People have to travel far away to catch a train, which costs them time and money.

Sometimes, big projects like this get delayed because it takes a long time to get the land ready.

While some parts of the project are being worked on, the whole train line is not finished yet.

People hope that one day soon, they will finally hear the whistle of a train in their own town.
