NORTH CENTRAL RAILWAY Shri Narendra Modi Hon'ble Prime Minister BALLIA PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of the nation, is served by North Central Railway along with Northern, North Vinay Kumar Tripathi Eastern and East Central Railways. Indian Railways (IR) plays a General Manager very important role in development of the state and provide North Central Railway connectivity for freight and passengers, including international tourists. IR has a history of more than 160 years in the state and has the highest route kilometers - 9100 route kilometers-with in it, which is 14% of entire Indian Railways network. IR has made Uttar Pradesh proud by giving it Nation's first semi high speed train Gatimaan Express, which initially ran between Agra and Delhi. It has now been extended upto Jhansi - a move that will boost tourism in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. After Gatiman, the nation's first engineless semi high speed train set "Vande Bharat Express" which is running from New Delhi to Varanasi is also serving the state of Uttar Pradesh. Efforts for further development of railway infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh have been intensified in last seven years with 461% more investment in comparison to previous years. Results of such a massive investment are becoming visible with enhanced infrastructure and modern passenger amenities. Soon the era of congestion and inconvenience will be matter of past and a new Railway equipped with state-of-the art facilities will be able to serve the citizens in a better manner and provide them enhanced value for their money.
