50 Express Trains to Stop at Bhodwal Majri: Special Halt for Nirankari Sant Samagam!
In a significant move to facilitate devotees, Indian Railways has announced temporary halts for 50 major express trains at Bhodwal Majri station in Panipat, Haryana. This special arrangement is specifically designed to accommodate the massive influx of pilgrims attending the 79th Annual International Nirankari Sant Samagam.
Enhanced Connectivity for Devotees
To ensure smooth travel for the large number of attendees, the railway administration has implemented two-minute stoppages for a wide range of express services. While these halts were originally scheduled to begin on September 30, the authorities moved the start date forward to September 20, 2026, to support early 'Sewa' activities and provide better convenience for travelers arriving from Hathras and surrounding regions.
Key Event Timeline
- Special Halt Duration: September 20, 2026, to October 31, 2026.
- Main Samagam Dates: October 23 to October 26, 2026.
- Guru Vandana Program: October 27, 2026.
Major Trains Benefiting from the Halt
The temporary stoppage will benefit numerous high-profile trains, making travel to the Sant Nirankari Adhyatmik Sthal in Samalkha much more efficient. Some of the prominent services receiving these halts include:
- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-Amritsar Express
- Pune-Jammu Tawi Jhelam Express
- Kerala Sampark Kranti Express
This strategic decision aims to ease the journey for pilgrims, ensuring they can reach the spiritual gathering with minimal inconvenience.
Traveler Assistance and Guidance
To help manage the crowds and assist attendees, members of the Nirankari Sewadal are expected to be stationed at railway terminals to provide necessary guidance.
Important Note for Passengers: It is highly recommended that travelers confirm specific train schedules and arrival times before heading to the station. You can obtain real-time updates by calling the Railway Helpline Number 139 or by checking the National Train Enquiry System (NTES).
