PRS Update: Delhi reservation services to remain closed for one hour on June 9 and 10
Indian Railways has announced a temporary suspension of Delhi PRS services. The system will be unavailable for one hour during the midnight of June 9 and 10, 2026. This closure will affect both online and counter-based booking services for passengers.
🚨: Indian Railways expansion plan: 36,000 km new tracks and 3,000 new trains announced।
Why are PRS services being closed
The closure is necessary for a technical backend update in the centralized reservation system. North Western Railway has changed the name of Jawai Dam railway station (JWB) to Sumerpur Jawai Dam railway station (SJWB). This name change requires a station code update in the Delhi Passenger Reservation System.

During this one-hour window, several key services will be completely unavailable. Passengers will not be able to access the following:
- Ticket Reservation and Cancellation
- Chart Preparation
