Northern Railway has announced the extension of special reserved train services connecting New Delhi with Shri Mata Vaishno Devi (SMVD) Katra. The move is aimed at accommodating the growing demand from pilgrims and passengers traveling to the popular shrine town.
Officials stated that the extended services will provide greater convenience and ensure smoother travel arrangements for devotees visiting the holy shrine. The trains will continue to operate with reserved seating to manage passenger flow effectively.
The decision comes in response to increased footfall during the pilgrimage season, with Northern Railway emphasizing its commitment to enhancing connectivity and passenger comfort.
With this extension, travelers from the national capital region will have improved access to SMVD Katra, reinforcing the importance of rail services in supporting religious tourism and regional mobility.
