The railway traffic in West Bengal will be the most affected by cancellations.
354 trains have been completely cancelled, 53 trains have been partially cancelled, 25 trains have been rescheduled and 49 trains have been diverted from their usual route.
Holi, the festival of colours, is closing in and people have already started travelling to their hometowns. Hundreds of thousands of people will be travelling back and forth from cities across the country. But there is some bad news for people who have already planned their travel in the next few days starting today. Indian Railways has cancelled more than 400 trains starting today (February 27). A total of 407 trains will be cancelled — some completely and others partially. Some of the major trains on the list are Express Special from Gorakhpur to Chhapra, Superfast Express from Chandigarh to Amritsar, Kumbh Express from Howrah to Dehradun, Udaipur City to Kolkata Express and Mahabodhi Express train running between New Delhi to Gaya.
The railway traffic in West Bengal will be the most affected by cancellations. Many long-distance trains travelling to and from Punjab and New Delhi will also be cancelled. According to the list, 354 trains have been completely cancelled, 53 trains partially cancelled, 25 trains have been rescheduled and 49 trains have been diverted from their usual route. This big change in schedules will cause immense inconvenience to passengers as festivals call for more travel than usual and the timing of the cancellations is not exactly desirable.
If you are someone who planned your Holi week vacations and travels, it is important to check your train’s status and also inform family and friends who have planned their holidays to do the same. Almost all information about the Indian Railways is available online for people to check.
