In a significant development for rail connectivity in Northeast India, the Ministry of Railways has approved the regular operation of the Agartala-Rani Kamalapati Express train. Previously running as a special service under train numbers 01666/01665, it will now operate regularly as train No. 11666/11665. This change comes after a request from Tripura MP Biplab Kumar Deb, aimed at improving travel convenience for passengers traveling between Tripura and central India. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed the approval through an official letter to Deb, highlighting the importance of this service for public convenience. The announcement of the Agartala-Rani Kamalapati Express coincides with other railway enhancements in Rajasthan, where Vaishnaw also announced the expansion of the popular Vande Bharat service on the Jodhpur-Delhi route from 8 coaches to 20, as well as new rail links and infrastructure developments in the region. These initiatives reflect the government's commitment to improving railway services across India.
