雙語：印度10萬人將遊行要求通火車 稱否則沒和平

People from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar staying in Surat will take out a "maha rally" on August 20 to press for their demand of a regular and direct train to their respective states from Gujarat.

印度北方邦和比哈爾邦民眾將於8月20日舉行「馬哈集會」，要求印度政府為當地提供定時、直達火車，以方便通往印度西部的古吉拉特邦。

Protesting under the banner 』Uttar Bhartiya Rail Sangharsh Samiti』, the north Indians have named the rally as 』Rail nahi to chain nahi』 (No peace if no train).

北印度人高舉「Uttar Bhartiya Rail Sangharsh Samiti」條幅，將這次集會命名為「Rail nahi to chain nahi」(如果沒有火車的話就沒有和平)。

This section of the society has been demanding a train between Surat and cities of UP and Bihar for a long time now. They decided to launch the rally after they were not satisfied with the outcome of their meeting with senior railway officials recently.

該地區民眾要求開通蘇拉特和比哈爾城市之間的火車，這一要求已經持續很長時間。最近，在與印度高級鐵路官員見面之後，他們對談判結果不滿意，所以決定發起遊行。

Subsequently, Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha released a letter stating that the Humsafar Antyoday train originating from Bandra in Mumbai to Patna and Gorakhpur would stop at Surat and Udhna in Gujarat with immediate effect.

隨後，印度鐵道部部長辛哈發表聲明稱，一班從孟買班德拉出發通往比哈爾邦首府巴特那和北方邦戈勒克布爾的火車將會在古吉拉特邦的蘇拉特和烏德納停站。

However, the Samiti rejected the offer demanding a regular train from Surat. They refused to budge from their stand.

然而，當地委員會拒絕了該提議，要求開通通往蘇拉特的定時火車，並拒絕由己方提供預算。

The Samiti claimed that about one lakh people would take part in the Sunday』s rally.

委員會稱，周日將會有大約10萬人參加遊行。

Keeping in view the rally, the mill contractors have granted a day』s leave to the workers. Workers from Jharkhand are also supporting the Samiti because there is only train - Surat-Malda - for them at present.

為了能參加此次集會，工廠的承包商已經給工人們提供了一天的假期。賈坎德邦的工人們也支持該次遊行，因為目前他們也只有蘇拉特-馬爾達一班火車。。

Meanwhile, Navsari MP CR Patil has said the railway officials have been apprised of the issue. He assured that new trains to north India would commence shortly.

同時，納夫薩里議員帕提爾表示，印度鐵道部官員已經得知了事態，並稱保證印度北部將很快有新火車。

On May 28, thousands of people had taken to streets to press for their demand. At that point in time, the Western Railway officials had assured them that their grievance would be addressed soon.

此前，5月28日，數千人就已上街表達訴求。當時，西部鐵路官員承諾稱，他們的不滿將很快得到解決。

However, with no solution in sight, the Samiti has announced the 』maha rally』 on coming Sunday.

然而，他們卻沒有看到任何解決，於是宣布即將到來的周日大遊行。
