The Ambala Railway Division of Northern Railway, in collaboration with MGH Group, for the first time loaded a special parcel train for Benapole in Bangladesh with cotton yarn at Ambala Cantonment railway station on Sunday.
The parcel train, consisting of 20 parcel vans, was flagged off by Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Freight, Vivek Sharma.
âEarlier, merchants in and around Punjab and Haryana were transporting these commodities by road to Bangladesh in small quantities and that was costing them too much.
âDuring the lockdown, they could not move this commodity by road. Then, the railway staff and officials approached the consignors and explained the facilities to transport it by rail. Accordingly, they have moved the cotton yarn by rail in bulk through goods train.
