Partial Cancellation of Bengaluru Trains

Three trains will be partially cancelled and will operate only on selected sections of their usual routes. Train 16521 Bangarapet-KSR Bengaluru MEMU will be partially cancelled between Bangarapet and Whitefield. As a result, passengers travelling from Bangarapet towards Bengaluru may need to make alternative arrangements for the affected section.

Train 16519 Jolarpettai-KSR Bengaluru MEMU will also be partially cancelled between Bangarapet and KSR Bengaluru. This means the train will not operate on this section of its regular route. Another affected service is train 66550 KSR Bengaluru-Jolarpettai MEMU, which will also face changes due to the safety work.

Moreover, two trains will be diverted on August 18. These changes have been planned to allow railway authorities to carry out the necessary work at Malur station safely.
