Plea for direct train from Hyderabad to Jodhpur

Members of various associations representing Rajasthanis met South Central Railway (SCR) general manager Sanjay Kumar Srivastava at Rail Nilayam in Secunderabad on Wednesday (July 17, 2025), and requested him to introduce a direct train from Hyderabad to Jodhpur.

A direct train service will be beneficial for a large number of people from Rajasthan, who have settled here for jobs, business and educational purposes. It will offer an economical, convenient and safe travel option to Rajasthanis to visit their respective hometowns, said the representation made to the GM.

Mr. Srivastava assured the members that the representation will be referred to the Railway Board on priority, and hoped for an optimistic response at the earliest.

Representatives of Hyderabad Kirana Merchants’ Association; Maheshwari Samaj Hyderabad – Secunderabad; Kumavath Samaj Telangana; Telangana - Andhra Pradesh Maheshwari Sabha; Akhil Bharatvarshiya Maheshwari Mahasabha and Hyderabad - Secunderabad (Zilla) Maheshwari Sabha, were present, said a press release.
