Mumbai Suburban Trains to Run Without Service Suspension on June 21 for NEET Retest
On June 21, Mumbai's suburban train services will run without the usual maintenance-related mega blocks to accommodate the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) retest. Western Railway will operate trains on a regular weekday timetable to support the expected increase in passenger traffic, while AC local trains will follow the Sunday schedule. Central Railway will also avoid mega blocks, though it remains unclear if their services will follow the weekday or Sunday timetable. This adjustment aims to facilitate smooth travel for NEET candidates across the city.
