Punjab Social Welfare, Women and Child Development minister Laxmi Kanta Chawla has urged the Centre to take decision about stopping the Chandigarh-Amritsar Duranto Express train at Jalandhar, Ludhiana and Sirhind so that the passengers of these cities can also avail this facility.
In a statement here today, Prof Chawla said ''the present departure time of the train is 1900 hours which is very late and daily commuters do not find it convenient to reach back home in time''. Keeping in view the demand of the passengers, the departure time of Duranto Express should be changed to 1800 hours instead of 1900 hours, she added.
