# Rajdhani Express to run on diverted route in October 2026-08-26T19:55:59+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Train No. 20818 New Delhi, Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express will operate on a diverted route on October 4 and October 11 due to non-interlocking work and infrastructure development in the Chakradharpur Division of South Eastern Railway. The route change is temporary and applies only to those two dates. Passengers are advised to check the revised schedule and stoppages before travelling. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Non-interlocking work, which disables the usual signalling system, is required when railway authorities replace points and crossings or lay new tracks. The South Eastern Railway zone executes such work during pre-announced blocks to minimise disruption. Passengers on this route should expect longer travel time on the two affected days, as diverted routes often add 60, 90 minutes. The exact revised timings and halt stations will be published by East Coast Railway closer to the date. ## Coverage - odishatv.in Straightforward service advisory with no editorial framing.
