Due to safety-related signal modernisation work (non-interlocking) for commissioning of a new rail bridge on river Sone and also to facilitate smooth and better movement of trains, the Railways has undertaken electronic interlocking work at Dehri. As a result, New Delhi-bound trains from and to Puri will run on diverted route.
Purusottam Express originating from both the directions till October 19 will run on diverted route via Chandil, Muri, Barka Kana, Chopan and Chunar instead of its scheduled path via Chandil, Purulia, Bokaro Steel City, Rajabera and Gomoh. Similarly, Neelachal Express originating from both the directions till October 19 will run on diverted route via Muri, Barka Kana, Chopan, Chunar and Varanasi.
Nandankanan Express originating from both the directions till October 20 will run on diverted route via Adra, Purulia, Muri, Barka Kana, Chopan and Chunar.
At the same time, Sambalpur-Varanasi-Sambalpur Express was cancelled October 15, 19 from Sambalpur and on October 16 and 20 from Varanasi.
