Patna: Muzaffarpur has received another significant gift. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the new Vande Bharat Express on September 15 during a special program organized in Purnea. This train will run from Forbesganj to Danapur and will pass through several important stations en route. Additionally, the Amrit Bharat Express will also be launched on the same day, strengthening connectivity between several major cities in Eastern India.
This new train service will not only reduce travel time but also boost economic and tourism activities in the region. Furthermore, instructions have been issued to tighten security arrangements at the railway station, as two LED TVs were recently damaged due to an overloaded goods trolley.

The new Vande Bharat Express will operate as train number 02631 Forbesganj–Danapur Inaugural Special. Its route will be as follows:
Forbesganj → Araria Court → Purnea Junction → Banmankhi → Dauram Madhepura → Saharsa → Khagaria → Salona → Hasanpur Road → Samastipur → Muzaffarpur → Hajipur → Danapur.

Additionally, the Amrit Bharat Express running from Jogbani to Erode will also be launched. This train will run on the following route:
