Rail Services to be impacted due to doubling work: Partial Cancellations & Route Diversions Expected

Jaipur/ Delhi, 2 April, 2024– n a significant development, the Northern Railways has announced that railway services will be affected due to the ongoing doubling and electronic interlocking work at the Ramapura Phul and Tapa stations along the Rajpura Junction-Bhatinda rail section. According to Captain Shashi Kiran, Chief Public Relations Officer of the North Western Railways, several trains are set to face partial cancellations and route diversions. Train No. 14735, originating from Sri Ganganagar, will be partially canceled between Bhatinda and Ambala from April 23, 2024, to April 30, 2024.
