North Western Railway (NWR) has scheduled a mega block on the Churu-Sadulpur rail section of the Bikaner division to carry out double line and automatic signaling work. This development project will take place between April 15 and April 30, 2026, specifically affecting the stretch between Dudhwakhara and Sadulpur stations. Passengers traveling on this route should check the updated status of their trains before heading to the station.
Which trains are fully cancelled during the block
The railway administration has decided to cancel 14 passenger trains to ensure the smooth progress of the infrastructure upgrade. The Chief Public Relations Officer of NWR, Amit Sudarshan, stated that these changes are vital for completing the 28 km Dudhwakhara-Sadulpur section. The first phase of this project covering 29 km is already finished and the remaining work is expected to wrap up soon.
