The Ministry of Railways has approved the halt of the Jaynagar-Patna Namo Bharat Rapid Train and the Jogbani-Danapur Intercity Express at Laheriasarai station. The halt for both trains is expected to begin soon, directly benefiting passengers from Laheriasarai and its surrounding areas.

He stated that the halt of train number 94803/94804 Jaynagar-Patna Namo Bharat Rapid Train and train number 13211/13212 Jogbani-Danapur Intercity Express will greatly facilitate passengers traveling to and from Patna, saving both time and resources.
