Jammu, Sep 19: The train operations in Jammu Railway Division, which in the aftermath of recent torrential rains, flash floods and landslides had cancelled many trains and terminated few others before their destination, are gradually coming back on track.
The Division has started re-operating cancelled trains in phases after the completion of technical work on the railway tracks and bridges.
In the third phase of its train restoration plan in wake of the upcoming Navratra festival, Jammu Railway Division Friday announced the resumption of four trains.
“Due to continuous rains and waterlogging in the Jammu Division of Northern Railway over the past few days, many trains had to be cancelled, and some had to be terminated before their destination. However, Divisional Railway Manager Jammu, Vivek Kumar, and other officials are periodically reviewing various sections and ensuring train safety. In this regard, some trains are going to be re-operated in Jammu Division,” Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (DCM), Jammu Railway Division, Uchit Singhal, stated.
Giving an update on the trains restored, he informed that train number 12238 (Jammu Tawi – Varanasi) will be running from September 21, 2025; train number 12332 (Jammu Tawi – Howrah) will also be operational from September 21, 2025.

Speaking on the operation of these trains, Senior DCM Singhal said, “These trains are being re-operated after ensuring the safety and continuity of the railway track. These trains are being operated in the third phase. Earlier also, trains were re-operated in two phases.”
“As soon as the technical work on the railway track and railway bridge is completed, the train operations in the division are being gradually normalised. To avoid any inconvenience, passengers should first check the train schedule on the Northern Railway website or the relevant helpline numbers,” he advised.
