Rajendra Bridge NI Work: Humsafar Cancelled, Amarnath Diverted on Bhagalpur-Kiul Route!
Train operations on the Bhagalpur-Jamalpur-Kiul section of the Eastern Railway's Malda division faced significant disruptions this Thursday. The chaos was triggered by ongoing non-interlocking (NI) work at the new Rajendra Bridge in Mokama, leading to a wave of cancellations, diversions, and heavy delays across the rail corridor.
Major Disruptions: Cancellations and Route Diversions
The impact of the maintenance work was felt most heavily by passengers of the 13423 Bhagalpur-Ajmer Weekly Humsafar Express, which was cancelled for the day. This sudden cancellation caused widespread inconvenience for travelers departing from Bhagalpur and surrounding stations.
Route changes were also implemented for the 15098 Jammu Tawi-Bhagalpur Amarnath Express. To navigate the ongoing work, the train was diverted from its standard path, traveling instead via New Barauni, Tilrath, Begusarai, Munger, and Ratanpur to reach Bhagalpur.
