Indian Railways will resume passenger services on the Pathankot‑Joginder Nagar narrow‑gauge section from October 11, according to Amar Ujala.
Indian Railways announced that passenger trains on the narrow‑gauge line linking Pathankot and Joginder Nagar will be back in operation from October 11. The decision follows a period of suspension during which track maintenance and safety checks were carried out. The line, which serves several hill‑area towns, is expected to restore regular connectivity for commuters and tourists alike. Railway officials have urged passengers to check the updated timetable before planning travel. The resumption marks a step towards improving regional transport infrastructure in the northern belt.
The Pathankot‑Joginder Nagar section, historically known for its scenic route through the foothills, had been temporarily closed due to routine upkeep. With the completion of the work, the railways have cleared the line for safe operation. Local authorities anticipate a boost in passenger footfall, especially during the upcoming festive season.
Travelers can purchase tickets through the standard railway reservation channels. The reinstated service will operate with the existing narrow‑gauge rolling stock, adhering to the schedule released by the railway zone.
