Indian Railways has cancelled multiple passenger and express services in Andhra Pradesh as Cyclone Murasu approaches, issuing a complete list of affected trains.
The impending Cyclone Murasu has forced Indian Railways to suspend a number of services in Andhra Pradesh. The South Central Railway zone, which oversees the state’s rail network, announced that both passenger and express trains scheduled to run over the next few days are cancelled to ensure passenger safety.
Travelers have been advised to check the official railway website or mobile app for the detailed list of affected trains and alternative arrangements. Stations across the state, including major hubs such as Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, are expected to see reduced footfall as commuters adjust their plans.
The cancellations are part of broader precautionary measures taken by the government and disaster management agencies as the cyclone moves inland. Authorities continue to monitor weather updates and will restore services once the threat subsides.
Passengers holding tickets for the cancelled services are instructed to seek refunds or rebook through the standard railway channels. The railway ministry has urged the public to stay informed and cooperate with safety directives.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates will be provided as the cyclone’s intensity and trajectory become clearer.
