Planning a Trip? Indian Railways Announces Sudden Train Cancellations and Route Diversions

Indian Railways announced several train cancellations and route diversions for June 5. These disruptions affect various zones due to essential safety maintenance. Travellers must check their status before leaving. This ensures a smoother journey during the peak summer travel season across India. Most cancellations involve regional express and passenger services starting early this morning.

Major engineering works are happening in the South Eastern and Northern zones. These upgrades aim to improve long-term punctuality and safety.
