Now travel directly from Jharkhand to Goa via Indian Railways' new weekly train service!

In a bid to revive tourism, The Indian Railways introduced a direct train from Jharkhand to Goa on Tuesday. As per reports, train number 06398 Jasidih-Vasco Da Gama Express was virtually flagged off on September 28, by the Railway Minister. This new service will enable easy Goa travel for all those people from Jharkhand who used to drop their vacation plans to the coastal state, due to the unavailability of direct commute.

Bringing ease of commute to travellers and explorers, the Goa-Jharkhand inaugural special train started its journey from the Jasidih station in the Deoghar district of Jharkhand on Tuesday. Its arrival in the capital city of Ranchi was marked by a grand welcome at around 9 PM. Going by reports, the train was flagged off for the Vasco Da Gama railway station in Goa from the Ranch Railway Station, in the presence of the parliamentary dignitaries who attended the celebratory event.

Ayush Jaiswal, a resident of Jharkhand said, "Goa is my favourite travel destination as it has wonderful beaches and welcoming shacks. Since I am afraid to travel in flights, I had no other way to travel to Goa except rail and the new train will help me reach my dream vacation spot."

The train will be operational once a week
