Why do trains get rescheduled or cancelled?

There can be infinite reasons for the delaying, rescheduling, diversion, termination and partial cancellation of trains. Being the fourth largest rail network in the world, Indian railways requires regular maintenance. Poor maintenance can have serious consequences, including deaths of thousands of people. As a result, railways try to maintain tracks by cancelling, rescheduling and diverting trains.

Apart from tracks, Indian Railways needs to keep a check on weather in different regions of the country. Bad weather can be risky for trains and might end up become a reason for accidents. Water-logging on tracks, fires and fog can can affect trains adversely.
