Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has canceled nearly 180 trains today for a number of reasons. A total of 184 trains have been completely canceled, and 75 more have been partially canceled as a result of the terrible weather, necessary maintenance, and operational work being done on the railroad tracks today, November 20.
Additionally, 14 trains were redirected by the IRCTC, and about 7 trains were postponed. There is also a high probability that Indian Railways would halt service on November 21 for the same reasons. As a result, travelers are urged to check the status of their trains before embarking on their respective rail journeys.
Additionally, due to Central Railways' 27-hour mega block from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to Masjid Bunder station in south Mumbai, Mumbai residents won't have access to local or long-distance trains. Consequently, until November 21 the train service between these stations will be discontinued.
The Carnac Bridge, built in the British era, is being demolished by the Central Railways. The mega block will run from 11 p.m. (on November 19) until 2 a.m. (on November 21), disrupting express and suburban train schedules throughout this time.
