Railways Approve Immediate Halts for Two Express Trains at Adarsh Nagar

The change cuts travel time for North and West Delhi residents by allowing local boarding to trains that serve Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

Overview

  • The Railways approved stoppages for Train No. 14331 (DelhiKalka Express) and Train No. 14053 (Delhi‑Daulatpur Chowk Himachal Express) at Adarsh Nagar, which the Union railway minister granted Saturday after a request from Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
  • Officials said the halts take effect immediately but did not publish detailed timetable or platform changes, leaving operational adjustments to be set by railway authorities.
  • Delhi officials say the move will save time for residents of North and West Delhi by reducing trips to central stations such as New Delhi and Old Delhi.
  • State leaders framed the decision as a cooperative step with the central government, and Gupta publicly thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for approving the request.
  • Adding stops on express routes is a routine railway measure that can ease local travel and boost tourist and pilgrim access; commuters should watch for published schedule updates and platform allocations before travelling.
