The 'Cancer Train' from Bathinda, Punjab, once known for transporting cancer patients to Bikaner, has reversed its direction. Now, it brings patients to Bathinda instead.
The train, which became a symbol of hope for cancer patients in Punjab's Malwa belt, has undergone a significant change in its purpose. Previously, it carried patients to Bikaner for specialized treatment. The reversal of the train's route reflects a shift in healthcare accessibility, bringing medical services closer to patients in Bathinda and surrounding areas.
