New Delhi, July 15 : Northern Railways has announced the temporary cancellation, diversion, and short-termination of several trains due to heavy rain and water-logging along the tracks on various routes. In a press release issued on Friday, the railway authority informed about the impacted services.
The cancelled trains, originally scheduled to depart on Saturday, include Ambala-Amb Andaura-Ambala Special JCO, Firozpur-Jalandhar Cantt-Firozpur Special JCO, and Jalandhar Cantt-Hoshiarpur-Jalandhar Cantt Special JCO. Additionally, some trains scheduled to depart on July 16 and 17 will also be affected, with cancellations, diversions, or short-terminations.
