It is sad that even though Dasuya is an important station with a cantonment just 4 km away not many trains are stopped here. In addition this is the major station in District Hoshiarpur and has many more trains stopping/ passing through here than Hoshiarpur itself. This station also has a potential to tap NRIs flying to Delhi and trying to reach Doaba belt. On any given day atleast 4 passengers board AC1st class in Jammu mail (out of 16 seats) or Dauladhar (8seats). ACII, ACIII or Sleeper class seats in Malwa or Jammu mail going to Delhi are always waiting listed. Currently NRIs come to Jalandhar either by bus or train and travel by taxis for an hr or two to reach Miani/ Begowal/ Dasuya belt. Indian railways should focus on developing 3rd tier towns like Dasuya which has great potential and it will also ease pressure from Jalandhar/ Ludhiana...
