For the convenience of passengers during summer, the Indian Railway on Thursday decided to extend the operation of 10 summer special trains, including those from Anand Vihar Terminal to Ranchi, Indore to Hazrat Nizamuddin, and Okha to Shakur Basti. This decision of the Indian Railways will make it easier for passengers to obtain confirmed tickets in the coming days and ensure comfortable travel.
Frequency of these special trains increased
According to a notification issued by the Indian Railways, the frequency of all these special trains has been increased to avoid inconvenience to passengers during the holiday season. Instead of discontinuing their services in the last week of June, these trains will now continue to operate until the first week of July and August 2026. The Railways clarified that train timings, stoppages, and all other details will remain unchanged. The frequency of trains on Anand Vihar-Ranchi and Indore routes has been increased.
