The Chatuia railway crossing in Budaun remained closed throughout the night to allow for essential railway track repairs. This closure led to a complete halt of vehicle movement on the Bareilly-Mathura highway between Vitroi and Ujhani. The work was carried out by the North Eastern Railway on the Bareilly-Kasganj line.
When did the repair work take place?
The repair work was scheduled to start on Thursday evening, May 28, 2026, at 7 PM. However, due to some technical reasons, the process started with a delay of about two and a half hours. The railway authorities had already announced on May 27, 2026, that the crossing would remain shut for 12 hours.
How was the traffic managed during the closure?
Since the main highway crossing was closed, vehicles were diverted to alternative routes via Mujaria to avoid long traffic jams. To maintain order and security at the site, personnel from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and local police were deployed throughout the night.
Who supervised the track maintenance?
The entire operation was monitored by Section Engineer Sumit Kumar Shekhar along with a team of expert technicians. After a detailed inspection, the team decided to close the gate to ensure the repair work was completed safely and efficiently.
