To handle the rush of passengers during festive or any other peak season, Indian Railways often runs special trains and adds extra coaches to the existing ones. In a similar move, the North Western Railways has announced the addition of one extra coach to the Durg-Ajmer Durg weekly train. The move is likely to benefit passengers travelling on the train’s route between Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
According to Captain Sashi Kiran, chief public relations officer, North Western Railway, one extra coach of second sleeper class will be added to train number 18213 departing from Durg on April 10, 17 and 24. Similarly on train number 18214 departing from Ajmer on April 11, 18 and 25 one temporary second sleeper class coach will be added.
Passengers intending to travel on the route and train are advised to plan their journey accordingly.
