Nagpur: The popular Geetanjali Express, renowned for shuttling passengers between Howrah and Mumbai, will face disruptions in its services on April 14 and 16. This cancellation stems from a proposed power block in the Raipur Division during the night of April 14. The block is necessitated by the construction of a Road over Bridge (RoB) at a level crossing between Siliari and Mandar railway stations in the Raipur Division of SECR.
The scheduled power block is set to commence from 11 pm on April 14 and conclude at 3 am on April 15. As a result, the Train No. 12860 Howrah-Mumbai Geetanjali Express, slated to depart from Howrah on April 14, will be cancelled. Due to the unavailability of rolling stock, the return journey from Mumbai to Howrah on April 16, originating from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), is also cancelled.
