Indian Railways Alert: Major Train Cancellations and Route Changes in East Central Railway—Check Full List

Indian Railways has changed the schedule of many trains originating and passing through East Central Railway due to unavoidable reasons. Several trains have also been cancelled, and these changes will be effective from February 24 to February 28.

This decision has been taken by the railway administration due to the high passenger rush for Mahashivratri on February 26, 2025. On the same day, the last Shahi/Amrit Snan and the conclusion of Kumbh in Prayagraj Mahakumbh will take place. As a result, there is a huge crowd at every station, and trains are running at full capacity.

Despite repeated requests from the Railways and administration, the number of people travelling to Prayagraj is not decreasing. Due to this, the operation of several trains passing through the East Central Railway has been changed, and many trains have been cancelled.
