Dhanbad, Dec 10: The route of the Dhanbad–Alleppey Express (Train No. 13351) has been altered on select dates until December 24 due to Track Renewal and Technical (TRT) work and a block on the Vijayawada–Duvvada Rail Section of the Vijayawada Rail Division.
The Dhanbad–Alleppey Express serves as a crucial connection between North Jharkhand and South India, particularly for hundreds of patients travelling to Vellore and Chennai for medical treatment. Known as a lifeline for the region, any changes in its operation significantly impact passengers.
