The difficulty is that for Live Train Status you need to download NTES app on your smartphone. At the same time, to know the PNR Status, the Rail Connect app. Many people complain that two apps are needed to get information related to one service. Probably to overcome this problem, Indian Railways has partnered with online travel website Make My Trip. Thanks to this partnership, users will now be able to check PNR status and live train status just by doing WhatsApp.
To take advantage of this facility, some important things have to be taken care of. The most important of these is that you have the latest version of WhatsApp. Apart from this no work will be done without internet connection. If you want to know the status of your train ticket, then write down the PNR number somewhere. If you want to know the live running status of the training, keep the train number close by.
