With elections slated to take place by this year’s end, Bihar is set to welcome a new Amrit Bharat Express train. According to an Indian Express report, it will be the state’s 11th train in its modern fleet, originating either from or passing through Bihar. Currently, 11 Amrit Bharat trains are operational in the country, with 10 of them passing through Bihar.
