Numerous passenger trains suspended in Chakradharpur Division due to recent accident, affecting local and long-distance travel plans.
JAMSHEDPUR – Rail authorities announce the cancellation of multiple train services on August 1st, following a recent derailment incident.
The cancellation of nine train services on August 1st comes in the wake of a derailment involving the Howrah-Mumbai Mail on July 30th.

The affected services include popular routes connecting Hatia, Sanki, Bardhaman, Kharagpur, Bokaro Steel City, Ranchi, Adra, Barkakana, Jharsuguda, and Tatanagar.
Commuters relying on these routes for daily travel or long-distance journeys will need to make alternative arrangements.
Local passenger trains, MEMU services, and express trains are among those impacted by this decision.
A Railway official stated, "We understand the inconvenience caused to passengers, but safety is our top priority. We are working diligently to restore normal operations as soon as possible."
Authorities advise travelers to check the status of their trains and plan accordingly to minimize disruptions to their schedules.
The railway department is expected to provide updates on the resumption of services in the coming days.
