The Indian Railways plan to launch a Sikh pilgrimage train in the country in the near future. The train will be called the “Gurudwara Circuit Train”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Special trains are going to be launched by the Indian Railways for Sikh devotees. Ashwini Vaishnav, the Minister of Railways, recently announced that a specially designed Gurudwara Circuit train will be launched soon for Sikh pilgrims.<\/p>\n

According to the news, the 11-day journey begins and ends in Amritsar<\/strong>. A train proposed during this period will cover four prominent gurudwaras, namely Harminder Sahib in Amritsar<\/a><\/strong>, Patna Sahib in Patna<\/a> (Bihar<\/a>),<\/strong> Hazoor Nanded Sahib in Nanded, Maharashtra<\/a><\/strong> & Damdama Sahib in Bhatinda<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trains will stop at a number of different stations along the route, including Ambala<\/a>, Saharanpur, Lucknow<\/a>, Manmad, Surat, Ahmedabad<\/a>, Jaipur<\/a>, Bathinda, and Amritsar.<\/em> Travelers have the option of a sleeper class or air-conditioned class on 16 coaches.<\/div>\n
