New Delhi : Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu will flag off Goa Rajdhani on November 15 from Madgaon, fulfilling a long standing demand from the state.

The first Rajdhani for Goa will be a bi-weekly service and leave from Nizamuddin station every Friday and Saturday and from every Sunday and Monday from Madgaon. While Trivendrum Rajdhani goes to Madgaon, there was no separate Rajdhani service for Goa till date.

Goa Rajdhani will be the 22nd Rajdhani service being launched by Railways across the country connecting state capitals with the national capital. There was a great demand for a separate Goa Rajdhani and Railways decided to fulfill it, said a senior Railway Ministry official.

He said, while the train will be flagged off on coming Sunday, the regular service will be started from Friday.
