What is the cause behind trains being rescheduled or cancelled?
Being the fourth largest rail network in the world, Indian Railways is one of the most cost-effective and efficient modes of transport. However, there are issues with the maintenance and operations that are constantly being resolved and resurfaced, making it difficult for trains to operate.
