The
Indian Railways cancelled 109
trains on Monday, August 22 till 10 AM. While 15 trains changed their source stations, another 15 trains were terminated short as well. A total of 3 trains have been diverted and 13 trains have been rescheduled.
Some trains namely, Pathankot-Jawlmukhi Road Express Special, NHT-AZ MEMU PGR SPL, Ramnagar-Moradabad Special Express and Pune-Howrah Duronto Express have been cancelled, along with 105 other trains. Also, the number can be increased as the day proceeds.
Some rescheduled trains include Delhi-Howrah Express Special, Varanasi-Chhapra Unreserved Express, BHW-BWN Passenger Special and KCVL-SC Sabari Express and a few more trains.
What is the reason behind trains being rescheduled or cancelled?
India has some of the largest rail networks across the world. Currently, India's rail network is spread across 67,000 kilometres. Hence, operation and maintenance are a major reason for cancellation, rescheduling and diverting trains.
Weather is another responsible factor as India has a tropical climate, making it difficult to travel in bad weather in some places.
