1 Trains from (PCN)PANCH PIPILA to (DBD)DEOBAND

N.F. Railway is progressing at full throttle for achieving the Indian Railways target of becoming Net Zero Carbon Emitter by 2030. In an endeavour for complete electrification, N.F. Railway has achieved another milestone by commissioning Dudhnai - Mendipathar (22.823 Track Kilometre) single line section and Abhayapuri – Pancharatna (34.59 Track Kilometre) double line section o­n 15^th March, 2023. The Central Organization for Railway Electrification (CORE) has carried out the electrification works in these sections.

 Mendipathar is the o­nly railway station in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya which is in operation since 2014 after being inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. After commissioning of electric traction, trains hauled by electric locomotive will now be able to operate directly from Mendipathar in Meghalaya which will increase the average speed. More passenger & freight carrying trains will be able to operate through these sections with full sectional speeds. Punctuality will also increase in this section. Parcel & freight carrying trains hauled by electric locomotives from other states will be able to reach Meghalaya directly.

Electrification will significantly improve the mobility of trains in Northeast India.  In addition to the reduction in pollution due to the shift from fossil fuel to electricity, the efficiency of the Railway system in the region will also improve. This would facilitate seamless traffic and also save time of the trains moving to and from northeastern states apart from savings in precious foreign exchange.

Northern Railway has notified Diversion of Train services due to Pre-Non Interlocking/Non Interlocking work in at Deoband Railway Station in connection with engineering works in Deoband – Roorkee section and Old Delhi – Ghaziabad - Meerut City- Saharanpur Section as detailed below:
