Why is this railway work being conducted?
According to official statements from Northern Railway, this work is part of a larger plan to upgrade the yard at Delhi Kishan Ganj. By installing an electronic interlocking panel, the railway aims to reduce manual errors and speed up train movements. While this causes temporary inconvenience, it is expected to enhance safety and efficiency for thousands of daily commuters in the Delhi Division.
