To accommodate the heavy influx of commuters during the Raksha Bandhan festival, railway authorities have announced a temporary extension of train services on the Jaipur-Bayana route.

 According to the updated operational schedule, Train number 19721 Jaipur-Bayana Express will reach Bayana Junction at 12:20 PM. Following a brief 2-minute halt, it will depart from Bayana at 12:22 PM and arrive at its extended destination, Bharatpur Junction, at 13:00 hrs (1:00 PM). This direct connection eliminates the hassle for passengers needing to arrange secondary transport between Bayana and Bharatpur.

 On the return journey, Train number 19722 Bayana-Jaipur Express will originate from Bharatpur Junction, departing at 13:30 hrs (1:30 PM). The train will enter Bayana Junction at 14:08 hrs (2:08 PM) and resume its journey toward Jaipur at 14:10 hrs (2:10 PM) after a short stoppage.
