February 27th. The list also mentions the halting of the Howrah Shipra Express at Hazaribagh Road, the Hatia Islampur and Kodarma at Chaudhribandh Halt, and the Sealdah Bikaner Duronto Express at Kodarma. In August 2023, the Sealdah Ajmer Express started stopping at the station, making this the second major express train halting there in six months. Locals speculate that the Tata Amritsar Express might soon be added to the station's list, with many advocating for its inclusion. The Sealdah Ajmer train is perceived as beneficial for Muslim devotees, the Shipra Express brings joy to Hindu and Jain devotees by providing a direct train to Ujjain and the Mahakaleshwar Temple, while the Tata Amritsar train offers direct access to the Golden Temple in Amritsar for the Sikh community. Considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the potential inclusion of the Tata Amritsar Express is seen as a gesture to appease the Sikh community.
