Here’s How to know PNR and live train status through WhatsApp

People traveling by Indian Railways often want to know the live running status of the train. If you have got a waiting train ticket, do not forget to check the PNR status till the end. Different facilities have been available in this regard from the Indian Railways. If you want, you can get this work done by visiting the IRCTC website. This information is also available by calling 139 number. But the increasing use of smartphones forced IRCTC to come up with an app.
