The approved stoppages are 54085/54086 Delhi–Satrod Passenger at Patuwas Mehrana station in Haryana; 14619/14620 Agartala–Ferozpur EExpres at HHani station in Haryana; 14717/14718 Bikaner–Haridwar Express at Hansi station in Haryana; 12981/12982 Jaipur–Asarva Express at Bijainagar station in Rajasthan.
The decision was taken after a detailed operational assessment and an examination of passenger demand. The proposed stoppages were found to be operationally feasible.
Patuwas Mehrana station, located on the Rewari–Bhiwani section, is currently served by three pairs of Mail/Express trains and two pairs of Passenger trains.
The approval of a stoppage for the 54085/54086 Delhi–Satrod Passenger will further strengthen rail connectivity for residents of the surrounding region and provide easier access to daily rail transport.
Earlier, the nearest stoppages for this train were at Jharili and Charkhi Dadri, located approximately 6 km and 7 km away, respectively.
The new stoppage will reduce dependence on neighbouring stations, improve first-mile and last-mile connectivity, and provide greater convenience to local commuters, students, and daily passengers.
Hansi, an important station on the Bhiwani–Hisar section, is already served by eight pairs of Mail/Express trains, seven pairs of Passenger trains, and two pairs of Special train services, making it a significant passenger hub in the region.
With the approval of stoppages for the 14619/14620 Agartala–Ferozpur Express and the 14717/14718 Bikaner–Haridwar Express, passengers from Hansi and adjoining areas will gain direct access to additional long-distance rail services.
Earlier, these trains halted at Bhiwani City and Hisar, located about 37 km and 25 km away, respectively. The new stoppages will improve travel convenience, enhance connectivity to northern, eastern, and western parts of the country, and provide passengers with more travel options from their nearest station.
Bijainagar station in Rajasthan is currently served by 19 pairs of Mail/Express trains and eight pairs of Special train services, reflecting its importance on the Ajmer–Chanderiya section.
Passengers travelling to and from Bijainagar will now benefit from the approved stoppage of the 12981/12982 Jaipur–Asarva Express.
Earlier, the train halted at Nasirabad and Bhilwara, situated approximately 42 km and 67 km away, respectively.
The new stoppage will provide direct access to this important inter-state service, improve connectivity between Rajasthan and Gujarat, and offer greater convenience to passengers, traders, students, and business travellers from the region.
