35 Bihar-bound trains cancelled, Vande Bharat among 42 others affected on September 28

On September 28, Indian Railways cancelled 35 Bihar-bound trains and diverted 33 others due to non-interlocking (NI) work at Rajendra Pul, which is being carried out to commission a new rail bridge parallel to the existing Rajendra Bridge over the Ganga River near Mokama. The new bridge, which has been in service since 1959, will connect the existing rail network at Upper Hathidah Junction, Tal Junction, Rampur Dumra, Dinkar Gram Simaria, and Barauni Junction.

Several trains, including the Howrah-Mokama Express, Howrah-Jaynagar Express, and the Vande Bharat Express, were affected by the cancellations and diversions.
