The Ranchi Railway Division has prepared a proposal to run special trains between Ranchi and Bhagalpur for the Shravani Mela 2026. This move aims to manage the heavy rush of devotees traveling to Babadham and Sultanganj. The proposal has been sent to the South Eastern Railway headquarters for final approval.

What are the proposed routes for the special train?
Senior DCM Shreya Singh stated that two potential routes have been suggested for the service. The first route will cover Ranchi, Muri, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Jasidih, Kiul, and Sultanganj before reaching Bhagalpur. The second option involves running the train via Barkakana, Hazaribagh, and Koderma to Bhagalpur. The final route will be decided by the headquarters.
What will be the timings and schedule?
According to the current proposal, the train will depart from Ranchi at 11 PM and is expected to reach Bhagalpur around 1 PM the next day. The detailed timetable will be released once the official sanction is received. Last year, two pairs of special trains operated on this route, which provided significant relief to the passengers.
Current status of the announcement
The information was updated on June 13, 2026. While the Ranchi Railway Division has initiated the process, the operation of the train will begin only after the final nod from the South Eastern Railway headquarters.
