Ranchi-Ernakulam Express should be named as Bhagwan Birsa Munda Express: CM

Ranchi, Oct 27 (UNI) Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today demanded that the name of the Ranchi Ernakulam Express should be renamed as Bhagwan Birsa Munda Express as it would help the people of the Southern States gain information about the martyr from Jharkhand who fought against the Britishers.
Addressing the people after flagging off the train at Hatia station here, he said the train would make travelling for such people who need to visit Vellore for treatment.
The Chief Minister said Jharkhand stood second among the states in the area of generation of revenue, however there was lack of facilities in the trains originating from the state as old rakes brought from other states are given to Jharkhand. People should get better coaches, he said, adding that he has spoken with Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu over the issue, who has assured changes.
