December 24, 2025

Railways has taken an important decision regarding the three-day Shaheedi Sammelan to be held in Fatehgarh Sahib. Railways has decided to stop 14 trains that do not stop at Sirhind railway station for three days so that pilgrims coming from different parts of the country can pay obeisance at Fatehgarh Sahib through trains.

Northern Railways said that this decision has been taken in view of the increasing number of pilgrims and passengers during the Shaheedi Jor Mela, so that they do not have to face any inconvenience in transportation.
