Those who are planning to travel from Indore Railway Station between 4 March and 5 March must reconsider their travel plans as the railway station won’t be functional for two days. While 22 trains would remain cancelled, 30 would terminate at nearby stations. There would be construction and electric work on the Indore-Laxmibai Nagar Lane and as many as 52 – both short and long train journeys connecting Indore will be affected. Only manual or interlocking system would be used for operating trains during this period.
As told by Manoj Sharma, DRM, Ratlam, the construction and electric work will start early morning on 4 March and continue for upto 24 hours.
Laxmi Nagar Station is neither well-connected to the city nor equipped to handle a large population so stay calm to avoid any chaos. Moreover, the station would be crowded with devotees during Simhastha festival.
