With a flood-like situation in the northern states due to heavy rainfall, several trains were cancelled. Severe waterlogging and floods are being witnessed by people in Himachal Pradesh, and the videos are making the rounds on social media. Heavy rainfall and extremely bad weather conditions are the reasons behind the train cancellations. Here are the trains that got cancelled.
Heavy Rainfall In North Leads To Train Cancellation
Along with Vande Bharat and twenty other trains, three Shatabdi trains, two from Kalka to New Delhi and one from Chandigarh to New Delhi, were cancelled for Monday and Tuesday. Following significant rain and track flooding or waterlogging, the trains were cancelled.
According to sources, the train cancellation period may be extended in light of the need to maintain the damaged rails. Since Sunday, Jan-Shatabdi and Vande Bharat have been cancelled. For the upcoming few days, the Railways also cancelled all toy trains and rail coaches travelling on the Kalka-Shimla track.
Monday’s torrential rains in Akola, Maharashtra, caused the ballast under the tracks on the Central Railway’s Murtijapur-Mana route to be swept away.
