New Delhi, In view of the summer holidays and the rising number of passengers, Indian Railways has taken significant decisions for passenger convenience. While a special summer train has been announced between Jammu Tawi and Prayagraj Sangam, several trains have been cancelled on the Ghaziabad-Saharanpur rail section due to maintenance work. Additionally, daily commuters have received major relief as the proposed non-interlocking work on the Bandikui-Idgah rail route has been postponed for now.

To accommodate the extra passenger rush during the summer holidays, the Railways has decided to operate a weekly summer special train between Jammu Tawi and Prayagraj Sangam.

Relief on the Bandikui-Idgah rail route

There is welcome news for daily commuters traveling on the Idgah-Bandikui rail section. The railway administration has postponed the proposed non-interlocking work on this route for the time being. Rail services on the Idgah-Bandikui-Idgah route were scheduled to be affected from June 11 to June 26; however, due to the postponement of the work, train operations will continue as usual.
