Train services in Punjab disrupted due to construction work at Jalandhar station | Check Details
PTC Web Desk: The Railways have announced significant disruptions in train services passing through Jalandhar and Amritsar due to construction activities at Jalandhar Cantt station and Chiheru stations. A block has been imposed from 12 pm to 4 pm, affecting the train schedule until November 29. As a result, 56 trains have been cancelled, 16 trains will not pass through Jalandhar, and 48 trains are expected to be delayed by 20 minutes to three hours.
The Ferozepur division has also confirmed that several trains to and from Amritsar and Delhi will be short-terminated, meaning they will not complete their usual routes and will stop at intermediate stations.
List of Key Affected Trains
12030/12032 Amritsar-New Delhi Shatabdi Express: From November 15 to November 27, this train will only run up to Phagwara and return to Delhi from the same station
12498 Shan-e-Punjab: Will operate only up to Ludhiana between November 15 and November 27, resuming its journey back to New Delhi from there.

Eight long-distance trains have been given alternative routes, passing through Ambala Cantt, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Phagwara. This adjustment allows for limited movement while avoiding the affected construction areas.
The disruptions have left many passengers in Punjab facing delays and needing to reschedule their travel plans. Travellers are advised to stay updated with the latest notifications from the Railways and check their train status before departure.
