Passengers Traveling to Vaishno Devi Will Have to Rely on Buses and Private Vehicles
Gurugram: Due to redevelopment work at Jammu Tawi Railway Station, several trains traveling to Jammu have been canceled until March 6.
As a result, the Pooja Express (train numbers 12413-14) operating between Ajmer and Jammu Tawi, and the Shalimar Malani Express (train numbers 14661-62) running between Barmer and Jammu Tawi, will remain canceled. This situation has arisen due to the ongoing redevelopment work at Jammu Tawi station.
