Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal Tuesday announced 106 new trains, including 67 express trains and 26 passenger trains, in the railway budget for 2013-14.

In addition, 57 trains will be extended and the frequency of 24 services would be increased, the minister said.
The minister said railways remained the single most important catalyst in Indias growth story and were a vital organisation integrating the nation from Baramulla in the North to Kanyakumari in the South, and from Dwarka in the West to Ledo in the East.
Negotiating and overcoming all the difficulties, the vast railway family is determined to play its historic role as a national carrier with resolute sincerity of purpose and strive to be a veritable vehicle of inclusive growth, Bansal said in his budget speech in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament.
