Travellers across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Bengal face heavy rail disruptions today, Monday, September 28, 2026, as Indian Railways executes a non-interlocking block near Mokama’s Rajendra Setu from September 21 to October 4. For September 28 specifically, around 21 trains are cancelled, with several others diverted or regulated across Patna–Kolkata, Sealdah–Jaynagar and Delhi links. Check live status before you leave home to avoid last-minute surprises.
Cancelled today are 13031 and 13032 Howrah–Jaynagar Express, and 13156 Sitamarhi–Kolkata Express. Also cancelled are 13185 and 13186 Sealdah–Jaynagar Gangasagar Express, and 15234 Kolkata–Darbhanga Maithili Express. Local advisories flag selective stoppage withdrawals around Patna–Mokama during the block window. Reconfirm your service on official apps because late operational orders may add trains.
Mokama Rajendra Setu block: today’s diversions and alternatives
Several long-distance trains are rerouted to keep corridors moving. The 22406 Anand Vihar Terminal–Bhagalpur Garib Rath runs today via the Grand Chord–Kiul–Gaya, bypassing Rajendra Setu approaches. The 12435 Jaynagar–Anand Vihar Terminal uses Samastipur–Muzaffarpur–Patliputra–Danapur on selected block dates, including today. Many Howrah–Delhi services divert through Kiul–Sheikhpura–Bihar Sharif–Bakhtiyarpur, so expect longer timings and altered halts.
Cancelled/diverted trains: NTES live check, refunds, helplines

If Railways cancels your e-ticketed train, refunds are processed automatically to the original payment method.
