Train Cancelled Update: Major setback for some train passengers. Indian Railways has issued an important alert for train travelers traveling to and from Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. The Railways has decided to cancel eight passenger trains running on this route on January 11th and 12th. This action has been taken due to the ongoing road underbridge construction work in the Hathbandh–Tilda Nevra section. According to the Railways, work will be carried out on the track during the construction.
Due to this, safe train operations will not be possible. Consequently, some passenger trains on this route will be cancelled for two days. Therefore, passengers who have already booked tickets or are planning to travel during this time are advised to check their train status before departing to avoid last-minute hassles.
These trains were affected
According to an update issued by the railway, this work has affected several local and passenger trains. On January 11th, the Gondia–Jharsuguda–Gondia MEMU passenger train will not operate on the entire route but will be turned back midway. The Tatanagar–Bilaspur Express will be completely cancelled from January 9th to 14th due to non-interlocking work.
Other trains that have been canceled include the Raipur-Bilaspur Passenger, Korba-Raipur Passenger, Gevra Road-Bilaspur MEMU, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Passenger. Due to these cancellations, passengers traveling on this route may face inconvenience for the next few days.
