Union Minister of Railways Sadananda Gowda has presented his maiden budget in the parliament on Tuesday, July 8, 2014. However, the was nothing encouraging for Kishanganj or Purnia division in the budget. Not a single new train was announced or services are extended for Kishanganj, which is an important station on New Delhi - Guwahati and Kolkata - Guwahati route. The railway budget is highly disappointing for Kishanganj and thousands of people who travel from the district to other parts of the country.
