In view of the increasing number of pilgrims on the occasion of the Magh Mela, the railway administration has provided significant relief. To ensure the convenience and smooth travel of passengers, a temporary halt has been provided for seven pairs of trains at Prayagraj Rambagh and Jhunsi stations.
These trains will be given an additional two-minute halt at both stations on various dates in January and February 2026.
East Central Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer, Saraswati Chandra, stated that this facility is being provided to a total of 14 trains (7 pairs including up and down services), including the Jaynagar-Lokmanya Tilak Pawan Express, Sitamarhi-Anand Vihar Lichchhavi Express, Danapur-Udhna Express, Jaynagar-New Delhi Swatantrata Senani Express, Darbhanga-Pune Express, Raxaul-Lokmanya Tilak Antyodaya Express, and the Darbhanga-Ahmedabad Antyodaya Express.
All these trains will be given a halt at both Prayagraj Rambagh and Jhunsi stations. According to railway officials, a large number of devotees travel to Prayagraj for a holy dip at the Sangam during the Magh Mela.
In this situation, besides Prayagraj Junction, the Rambagh and Jhunsi stations are considered more convenient for devotees. This arrangement of a temporary halt will make it easier for passengers to disembark near the Mela area and will also help balance the pressure of the crowd.
