Rajdhani’s Hailakandi stop elates residents

The Barak Valley’s Hailakandi district is celebrating ahead of PM Modi’s Mizoram visit, as it welcomes its first Rajdhani Express after 80 years. The Delhi-bound train from Sairang will halt at Hailakandi, fulfilling a long-held aspiration. While Silchar misses out, Hailakandi residents are thrilled, and improved connectivity promises stronger economic ties between Mizoram and South Assam.
