Railways Increases Litchi Transport to Boost Farmers
Imagine the railway trains are now helping farmers get their delicious litchis to people all over the country!
The railways are using special trains to quickly send the litchis, so they don't spoil.
They've added special compartments to regular trains, and are sending lots of litchis every day from a place called Muzaffarpur.
They even have a special office and a phone number to help the farmers.
This makes it easier and cheaper for farmers to send their fruit and make more money, and helps everyone enjoy fresh litchis!
Railways deployed 28 trains for transporting litchis.
Muzaffarpur station dispatches approximately 22 tonnes of litchis daily.
The initiative utilizes specialized parcel vans in passenger trains.
The railways transports 110 tonnes of litchis daily across the ECR zone.
A dedicated litchi parcel office and a 24/7 helpline are set up for convenience.
