Kolkata, Oct. 29 -- Circular Railway services under Eastern Railway's Sealdah Division will be regulated for three days-from October 31 to November 2-following a request from the state administration to ensure the smooth conduct of Jagadhatri idol immersion.
During this period, several local services will be short-terminated, diverted or cancelled. Two Circular Railway trains-a Sealdah-BBD Bag and a BBD Bag-Baruipur-will remain cancelled. Three EMU locals-Barasat-Majerhat, Duttapukur-Majerhat and Naihati-Ballygunge-will be short-terminated at Kolkata Station, while three others-Majerhat-Habra, Ballygunge-Barrackpore and Majerhat-Barasat-will originate from there.
A Naihati-Majerhat local will be diverted and short-terminated at Sealdah (North), while a corresponding Majerhat-Naihati service will originate from the same station. At Ballygunge Junction, a Lakshmikantapur-Majerhat local will be short-terminated, and a Majerhat-Ghutiari Sharif train will start from Ballygunge.
A Habra-Majerhat local will be diverted via the Kankurgachhi Road Junction-Ballygunge route, while Majerhat-Duttapukur and Majerhat-Ranaghat trains will also run on diverted routes. Similarly, a Barrackpore-Majerhat local will be short-terminated at Ballygunge, and a Majerhat-Duttapukur service will originate from there and run via the Ballygunge-Kankurgachhi Road route.
However, one Sealdah-Baruipur special will depart from Sealdah at 7:10 pm, following the route of the cancelled BBD Bag-Baruipur (30451) service from Ballygunge.
In a separate development, ER Howrah Division will operate a pair of EMU special trains between Bandel and Katwa on November 5 and 6. Mpost
