Namo Bharat Train Update: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) on Saturday stated that the frequency of operation of the Namo Bharat train at New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar stations is likely to be increased in two weeks. The response from the authority came after several passengers complained after the frequency was reduced to half an hour from fifteen minutes. The NCRTC had emphasised that the schedule was changed due to the maintenance work. However, the passengers have been facing inconveniences as the waiting period between the two trains has increased, reported Jagran.Com.

While providing details, the authority stated that the maintenance work between two stations is likely to continue for the next 15 days. It further advised the passengers to follow the guidelines and plan their travel accordingly to avoid any inconveniences. While the NCRTC officials did not provide details of the maintenance work on these stations, the reports suggest that the works are being carried out to improve the facilities and connectivity.
