Railway authorities have suspended over 50 services and altered routes across Bihar and Jharkhand as extensive yard maintenance proceeds.
The Eastern Railway zone announced that more than 50 passenger and freight trains have been cancelled across Bihar and Jharkhand due to scheduled yard maintenance. The work, aimed at upgrading signalling equipment and clearing backlogs, began on Monday and is expected to continue for several days.
Passengers travelling on affected routes have been advised to check revised timetables, as many services are being diverted through alternative lines. Stations along the main corridors have set up information desks and mobile alerts to guide commuters.
Railway officials said the disruptions are temporary and that normal operations will resume once the yard work is completed, likely by the end of the week. Travelers are urged to book tickets in advance and allow extra travel time.
