Railway News: Nanpara-Mailani Train Services In UP To Resume From November At Low Fares

IRCTC Update: Train services in the Nanpara–Mailani section of the district have been suspended since August due to flood damage near Bhira railway station in Lakhimpur. The North Eastern Railway is preparing to resume operations from the second week of November, providing much-needed relief to local passengers and offering a more affordable travel option to other districts.

Currently, there are no direct rail or transport services from the district headquarters to Lakhimpur Kheri. Residents previously relied on trains and buses from Nanpara, but the suspension of two up and two down trains between Mailani and Nanpara has caused significant inconvenience. Many passengers have had to travel to nearby towns such as Bichhiya, Mailani, Tikunia, Palia, Manjhra, Khairatia, and Bhira at higher costs.

With the railway track now fully repaired and floodwaters receded, the North Eastern Railway is working to restart services. If all goes as planned, trains are expected to resume on November 12. This will make travel to Palia and Mailani easier and more affordable for district residents.
