 "IRCTC cancels 116 trains today, 25 Aug: Check your train status here")
The Indian Railways cancelled 116 trains on Thursday, August 25, till 9.30 am. A total of 20 trains have been terminated shortly, while 22 trains have been partially cancelled. The number has been constantly touching the 180 mark for the past few days.
Today, 20 trains have been rescheduled, while 16 trains have been diverted. There could be plenty of reasons for cancellation, as the weather is also one of them.
Cancellation, rescheduling and diversions are parts of Indian Railways' daily routine. They consistently update information on their website, making it much easier for passengers to fetch information about their trains. Here is the list of trains which have been partially cancelled, rescheduled or diverted today.
Why do trains get rescheduled or cancelled?
Despite being the fourth largest rail network in the world, India has had maintenance and operational issues for the longest time. Hence, this could be a major reason for India's delayed, cancelled and rescheduled trains.
Also, the ever-changing weather in different parts of the country causes water-logging and other technical issues. Hence, the Indian Railways cancels trains to prevent risk.
