Two exp trains to halt regularly at Orchha rly station
Prayagraj: In a significant move to enhance regional connectivity and promote tourism, the North Central Railway under the Jhansi Division announced the introduction of regular halts for two express trains at Orchha Railway Station. Starting May 30, the Khajuraho–Udaipur Intercity Express and Gwalior–Varanasi Bundelkhand Express will stop at Orchha, much to the benefit of local passengers and tourists alike. The inauguration ceremony for this facility is scheduled to take place on May 30 at Orchha station. The event will be graced by cabinet minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Virendra Kumar who is expected to flag off the new halts. With this development, passengers from Orchha will now have direct and convenient rail access to major destinations, including Gwalior, Khajuraho, Varanasi, and Udaipur. This improved connectivity is expected to significantly boost tourism to Orchha, a town known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Easier access for tourists will enhance the town's visibility as a prime travel destination. Moreover, the increased passenger flow is likely to stimulate local businesses, especially those related to hospitality, handicrafts, and other service sectors. Due to the inclusion of Orchha in the route, the timings of train number 11107 at several other stations have been revised, including Niwari, Teharka, Mauranipur, Harpalpur, Belatal, Kul Pahad, and Mahoba.

Upon entering the toilet, she screamed, attracting the attention of nearby passengers. They were similarly alarmed when they saw smoke coming from the toilet. The Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) soon arrived and opened the door, revealing a passenger smoking a cigarette inside, which is prohibited on trains. Consequently, the TTE imposed a fine on the offending passenger. This incident underscores ongoing efforts by the Jhansi Division to ensure cleanliness and compliance on trains and station premises.

Of these, Rs 7,15,863 were collected from 3,530 passengers for littering, and Rs 3,10,030 from passengers for smoking. According to Indian Railways regulations, spreading dirt or smoking in train or station premises is a punishable offence, potentially resulting in fines, imprisonment, or both. The railway authorities urge passengers to maintain cleanliness and refrain from smoking to ensure a pleasant and respectful travel experience for all. First Published:
