Ranchi Railway Reservation Counter to Remain Open Till 8 PM on Sundays, Holidays

• Extended booking facility to begin November 15 on a three-month trial basis

Ranchi (Jharkhand): Ranchi Railway Division has decided to extend the operating hours of one Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counter at the Ranchi Reservation Office on Sundays and national holidays to improve passenger convenience.

Under the revised arrangement, one PRS counter will remain operational until 8 pm on Sundays and national holidays, providing passengers additional time to book reserved railway tickets.

Earlier, all PRS counters at the Ranchi Reservation Office remained open only until 2 pm on Sundays and national holidays. The extended timing is expected to make reservation services more accessible, particularly for passengers who are unable to visit the booking office during regular working hours.

Trial Begins November 15

The extended reservation facility will be introduced on a trial basis for three months, starting Sunday, November 15, 2026. The revised operating hours will come into effect from the implementation date.
