Mahakumbh 2025: महाकुंभ से पहले कैंट स्टेशन पर होगा 100 दिन का ब्लॉक, प्लेटफार्म नंबर पांच पर नहीं आएंगी ट्रेन

To improve train speed and smooth operations, a new railway line will be laid on platform number five at Cantt Railway Station.

DRM of the North Railway Lucknow Division, S.M. Sharma, announced this during his inspection of Cantt Station on Monday. He also mentioned efforts to streamline freight train operations, aiming to avoid unnecessary stops at intermediate stations. This would save time and provide convenience for railway staff. During his one-day visit, the DRM inspected passenger facilities and developmental works, emphasizing the improvement of train speed. Meetings with ECR, PDDY Nagar's DRM, and NER DRM were held to discuss the coordinated development of the railway network. To curb unauthorized passengers, a special plan has been implemented between Cantt and DDU. This involves checking trains at Cantt Station for those bound for PDDY Nagar and checking trains from DDU and Varanasi at DDU station. This is expected to significantly curb unauthorized travel. The Varanasi-Chandigarh special train, which started on June 22nd, is seeing positive response. It was fully booked even before commencement, and the DRM has instructed officials to monitor it, potentially making it a weekly service. The DRM also discussed the design of a new signature bridge over the Ganges, which will have four railway tracks and a six-lane road above. This long-term project is currently in the design phase, with all necessary procedures completed by the railway authorities. This bridge will facilitate smooth train movements to and from P.D.D. Upadhyay Station, including those for freight trains.

Train speed aur smooth operations ko improve karne ke liye, Cantt Railway Station ke platform number five pe ek nayi rail line bichai jaaegi. Is expansion ke liye 100 din ka block chahiye, jo July mein schedule kiya gaya hai, aur October se pehle khatam hone ka lakshya hai. Ye Maha...

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
