Railway Minister Mukul Roy on Sunday promised to restore the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, which now runs between Darjeeling and Kurseong, to Siliguri by 2013.
“The Railways will make an all-out effort to extend the services to Siliguri,” he said.
The UNESCO heritage railway, which attracts both foreign and domestic tourists, has been running for years between Darjeeling and Kurseong as tracks up to Siliguri were damaged by landslides.
