Railways Services during the festival: As India entered festival season, every update on Railways services becomes very crucial because people in huge numbers travel on trains to reach their home town.
Here is an important update for those people who have made plans to travel today. Indian Railways on Thursday (October 20) announced that 138 trains fully and 37 were partially canceled across several zones owing to several reasons, including maintenance.
However, Railways, officially, did not mention the exact cause of the cancellation of the trains, but It seems that Railways wants to check all preparations ahead of Diwali festival as trains see a huge rush and the number of trains also increased to reduce the burden on the regular trains.
Meanwhile, if you are going to travel by train today, do check your train number after logging on - https://www.irctchelp.in/cancelled-trains-list/#list1
