North Bihar lifeline Rourkela-Jayanagar Express rescheduled for two days

In a significant development, six trains, including the crucial Rourkela-Jayanagar Express, have been rescheduled due to the commencement of track doubling work between Kishunpur and Rambhadrapur railway stations in the Samastipur division of the East Central Railway. The decision comes as part of the railway's effort to upgrade and modernize its infrastructure to cater to the growing passenger demand in north Bihar.

A Dhanbad Rail Division official said today that the Rourkela-Jayanagar (Madhubani) express train will run to Barauni Junction on July 22 and July 25. Similarly, the train would depart from Barauni on July 23 and July 25 to Rourkela.

Rourkela-Jayanagar Express train is the only direct train for North Bihar for people from Ranchi, Bokaro, Dhanbad, and other districts. The train runs three days a week.

Besides, a divisional railway official said that the route of the Raxaul-Secunderabad special train has been diverted due to the reconstruction of the double line. On July 23, the Raxaul-Hyderabad Express ran via Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur and Samastipur.

On July 25, Raxaul-Secunderabad special train will run via Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur and Samastipur. On July 22, the Secunderabad-Darbhanga Express also ran via Samastipur, Muzaffarpur and Sitamarhi.
