The Northern Railway has announced the extension of an additional Third AC (3AC) coach in the Jammu–New Delhi Rajdhani Express to accommodate the increasing passenger rush.
According to a press release issued by the Jammu Division of Northern Railway, the extra coach was initially attached to the train on March 7 and March 14. The decision has now been extended, and the additional 3AC coach will also be attached on March 13 and March 15.
