Chandigarh: Rail passengers in the Ateli region will soon benefit from improved connectivity following the Railways' approval of a stoppage for the Daurai-Tanakpur Express at Ateli railway station. The halt for Train No. 15091/15092 was sanctioned on an experimental basis, as per a notification issued by the North Western Railway.
