AGARTALA, Oct 15 (TIWN): Since one year Tripura people have been hearing a lot about Rajdhani Express's arrival but finally it's after a year, the dreams of passengers have been finalized ahead of Diwali. After 70 years of independence when Rajdhani has chugged on Tripura's soil, still rumours have gripped whether the arrived Express is actually Rajdhnai or not as NFR has not announced anything. Some are saying, "It's just an AC train and a big conspiracy is there". But breaking all the rumours, NFR Official M K Yadav said, "Rajdhani has arrived here at around 3 AM from Guawahti. NFR Officials are fixing the inauguration date of it". Now, it's time to look back how Rajdhani arrived in Tripura which couldn't come 25 yrs of CPI-M regime and 70 years of India's independence.

Prabhu clearly said, "I never saw such a crowd like this. The mass gathering says how much Tripura's passengers have been waiting for Express. So, Delhi is no more far away with Tripura Sundari's inauguration". Suresh Prabhu who

While inaugurating Tripura Sundari Express, which was the 1st Express chugged on Tripura soil, he said, "This is nothing many Sundaris will come in coming days". However, proving the Govt's words as true now under new Raiulway Minister Piyush Goyal Rajdhani has arrived in Tripura on Saturday early morning.
