New Delhi: Indian Railways will introduce seven new trains in Bihar on Monday, including three Amrit Bharat Express services, to provide better connectivity for passengers in the poll-bound state.
Out of the seven new services, four trains will operate entirely within Bihar, connecting important cities and towns. The three Amrit Bharat Express trains will run on longer routes, linking Bihar to major destinations across India.
