The Indian Railways cancelled 165trainson Monday, August 29, till 9 am. A total of 20 trains have been partially cancelled, 18 trains have been rescheduled and 24 trains have been diverted from some of their stations.

TheRailwayshave been facing regular problems in maintaining the proper schedule. As more than 180 trains are being affected on regular basis, it is a matter of concern for people moving from one place to another.


Why do trains get rescheduled or cancelled?

Trains get cancelled for many reasons. Despite being an efficient and safer medium to travel, rescheduling, cancellation and diversion of trains occur due to operational and maintenance issues and providing high-end services.

Apart from operational concerns, trains get cancelled due to water-logging, floods and corrosion of railway tracks. In recent years, the Indian railways have been serious about people's safety, which is why they reschedule, divert or cancel trains for protecting people.

How to check if your train is cancelled or not?

Before moving out for your next trip, it is better to check whether your reserved train is on time or not. Though there can be multiple ways to know your train's running status. We would prefer you to opt for the official website of IRCTC for the latest updates. Here's how you can know whether your train is on time or not:
1. Visit the Indian railway's official website- ww.indianrail.gov.in/mntes for all the trains.
2. Tap, touch or click on the tab of "exceptional trains" on the right side of the website.
3. A long list of rescheduled, diverted or cancelled trains will be displayed.
4. You can access various lists separately and plan your trip accordingly.'
