In response to the ongoing track non-interlinking work at Jammu railway station, Northern Railway has taken significant measures to alleviate the inconvenience faced by passengers. The railway authority has decided to run the Rajdhani Express between Jammu and Delhi from January 24 to January 25 to ensure smooth travel for commuters.The Rajdhani Express will leave from New Delhi at 8 pm and arrive in Jammu at 5 am the following day.
