Chakradharpur: Due to developmental works in Chakradharpur Railway Division of South Eastern Railway and Bilaspur Railway Division of South East Central Railway on various dates from September 28 to October 16, Railways has canceled the operation of 64 express and passenger special trains. Whereas the Railways has decided to run 5 trains through the diverted route and has planned to run four trains late by one to four hours.
The passengers of Chakradharpur Railway Division, who were waiting for train facilities on the occasion of the beginning of Navratri, have got a big shock from the Railways. Railways has announced the cancellation of trains like Vande Bharat including Mail Express just ahead of the Puja festival. All these 66 trains pass through Chakradharpur railway division.
Due to the announcement of cancellation of trains by Railways, the travel programs of common railway passengers have been ruined. Passengers traveling from stations like Tatanagar, Sini, Rajkharswan, Chakradharpur, Goilkera, Manoharpur, Rourkela, Rajgangpur, Jharsuguda etc. will not be able to travel by train for about 15 days. It is said that there will be shortage of passenger trains in the stations.
Due to this sudden decision taken by the Railways, all the programs of a common man including puja, marriage, medical treatment, job, household work and celebrations have been wiped out. Taking the decision to cancel the trains in one fell swoop, the Railways has also released its list.
It has been told that all the trains will remain canceled for 15 to 20 days, in such a situation, a period of great trouble is about to begin for those traveling in trains for important work. Not only this, those people whose employment, trade and business depend on the movement of trains will also suffer losses due to this.
It should be noted that trains running on canceled and diverted routes pass through Chakradharpur railway division on the same day or a day later. At the same time, Railways has decided not to cancel the operation of train number 18451 and 18452 Hatia Puri Hatia Express.
