He said Prabhu would make the announcement regarding the new train during his visit to Amritsar next month.

Chandumajra said the new train would run via Morinda, adding that its introduction would benefit devotees keen to pay obeisance at Takht Keshgarh Sahib and Akal Takht.

He also raised the demand of providing a new rail link between Anandpur Sahib and Garhshankar for further linking the town with Amritsar. He also demanded the Rahon-Samrala and SAS Nagar-Rajpura rail link from the minister.
