Special train to link Ram, Sita birthplaces

The brand new Amrit Bharat Express, designed primarily to cater to the needs of migrant workers, is set for its debut one-time special run between Ayodhya, the birth place of Lord Ram, and Darbhanga via Sitamarhi (Sita’s birthplace) in Bihar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to flag off the train on December 30 when he is scheduled to launch a Vande Bharat between Ayodhya and Delhi, and inaugurate a host of projects in the holy city. Amrit Bharat trains will be non-AC trains with both seating and sleeper facilities.
