If you’re planning to book a train ticket for Saturday night, don’t delay! Whether you plan to book online or offline, make sure to reserve your seat as soon as possible. Due to technical reasons, all reservation services at the Delhi PRS (Passenger Reservation System) will be temporarily unavailable, and you don’t want to miss out on your travel plans.
⏰ Reservation Services on Hold
According to Himanshu Shekhar, the Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway, all services related to the Delhi PRS will be shut down for 2 hours and 30 minutes between the night of August 10 and 11. During this time, services including reservation, cancellation, charting, inquiry (both through the 139 helpline and counters), and internet booking will be completely unavailable.
🌍 Impact on a Wide Area
Delhi PRS is one of the five key centers in the country that operates PRS services. This means that all reservation-related services in Delhi and several surrounding states will be affected during this period. If you are planning to travel, it is highly advisable to complete your booking as early as possible to avoid any inconvenience.
🛑 What You Should Do
To avoid any last-minute hassle, make sure you:

- Plan for alternatives if you miss booking during this period.
- Inform others who might be affected by this service interruption.
Remember, this shutdown will impact a large area, so if you or someone you know is planning to travel, it’s crucial to act now.
