The Ranchi-New Delhi Rajdhani Special Express will now run via the Lohardaga-Tori rail link every Thursday from November 11, the Union railway ministry has announced, fulfiliing a longstanding demand of the people of Jharkhand.
From Delhi, the train will leave every Wednesday and travel on the altered route to reach Ranchi. According to the railways, the train will stop at Daltonganj and Garhwa Road — both in Jharkhand _ and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay Junction and Prayagraj stations in Uttar Pradesh.
It will, however, not halt at Lohardaga junction. Currently, Ranchi Rajdhani runs four days a week via two routes. The train cuts through Muri-Barkakhana for two days and takes the Ranchi-Bokaro route on the other days.
