Railways Cancels 24 Trains From Dec - What You Should Know.

24 trains will be canceled by Indian Railways between December 1, 2025, and March 1, 2026. The decision was made in advance of the winter season, when heavy fog is predicted to interfere with train operations and visibility on important northern and eastern routes. 

The Reasons Behind the Cancellations

• Due to fog, the Northern and East-Central Railway zones are getting ready for limited visibility.

• The goal of this proactive cancellation is to guarantee passenger safety by avoiding delays and mishaps.

• Rail authorities hope to prevent hazardous situations where trains might stumble at crossings or slow-moving sections by suspending these trains.

• Prayagraj–Muzaffarpur Express (both directions)
  
  

• Veerangana Laxmibai Express (Jhansi-Kolkata)

• Malda–New Delhi Express, Barauni–Ambala Express, and Purnia Court–Amritsar Jan Sewa Express
