What is the reason behind trains being rescheduled or cancelled?

Indian Railways has one of the biggest rail networks across the globe. Since India is a country with a tropical climate, floods and heavy rains are common in some regions of the country. The drastic climate changes lead to cancellations and rescheduling of trains in India.

Moreover, trains do get canceled because of operational issues. So, maintenance is another cause of delays and cancellations in the Indian Railways.
