A passenger train on the route from Delhi to Patna would make an unscheduled stop at Rampur every Sunday to watch Ramayan in the 1980s.

There is insufficient credible evidence available to verify whether a train used to halt to watch Ramayan episodes on Sundays in the 1980s.

There is insufficient credible evidence available to verify whether a train used to halt to watch Ramayan episodes on Sundays in the 1980s.Some media reports have cited the book ‘An Epic Life: Ramanand Sagar: From Barsaat to Ramayan’ written by Prem Sagar and stated that a train from Delhi to Patna used to take an unscheduled stop at Rampur on Sundays for the passengers to watch the episode of the mythological television show Ramayan.

We cannot objectively verify the statement because there are no publicly available accounts of credible witnesses and the book is about the show's creator.
