Winter Fog Causes Cancellation of 24 Trains in North India

Impact of Winter Fog on Train Services



As winter sets in, a recurring issue has emerged in North India, particularly affecting regions like North Bihar. Dense fog has enveloped the area, leading to significant delays in train services, with many trains being held up for several hours. In response to this situation, the Railways have made a crucial decision to cancel 24 trains operating in and around cities such as Patna, Prayagraj, Howrah, Amritsar, Kamakhya, Kolkata, Ajmer, and Ambala. This cancellation will be in effect from December 1 to February 28, impacting the travel plans of countless passengers.


Reasons Behind the Cancellation

The Railways have cited safety concerns as the primary reason for this decision. Operating trains in foggy conditions poses a significant risk due to reduced visibility, making it challenging to see signals and tracks. To mitigate the risk of accidents and ensure safe operations, several long-distance trains have been temporarily suspended. This measure is expected to alleviate pressure on the railway network, allowing other trains to run safely and efficiently.
