No block on Western Railway`s suburban section
Meanwhile, the Western Railway has said that there will be a no mega block on its suburban section this Sunday, (October 19) in view of the Diwali 2025 celebrations.
An official statement issued on Thursday said that there will be a no mega block on Sunday.
