Tatanagar-Ranchi Train Services Halted for a Week Due to NI Work; Commuters Face Disruption

• Train services between Tatanagar, Ranchi, Hatia, and Bokaro will be disrupted from January 8 to 14, 2026.
• The disruption is due to ongoing non-interlocking (NI) work in the Ranchi Railway Division, aimed at improving future rail facilities.
• Several key trains, including 58033/58034 (Bokaro Steel City–Ranchi–Bokaro Steel City) Passenger and 18602/18601 (Hatia–Tatanagar–Hatia) Express, are fully canceled.
• Daily commuters relying on MEMU trains like 68035/68036 (Tatanagar–Hatia–Tatanagar) Passenger will be significantly affected.
• Train 63598 (Asansol–Ranchi) MEMU will terminate at Muri, and 63597 (Ranchi–Asansol) MEMU will start from Muri, not reaching Ranchi.

Why It Matters: Tatanagar-Ranchi rail travel faces a week-long halt due to NI work; passengers advised to check status.
