Train Cancellation: Railways Announce 85-Day Block; Specific Train Cancelled Between October and December

If you rely on MEMU trains for your daily commute, please note that Eastern Railway’s Asansol Division has modified train operations due to essential maintenance work on the Madhupur-Jasidih rail section.

October has arrived, and it is well known that major festivals like Durga Puja, Diwali, and Chhath fall during October and November. With these festivals approaching and the winter holidays following in December—a time when many people travel—this information is particularly relevant if you are a working professional or a student who travels daily via MEMU trains.

The changes to train operations have been necessitated by scheduled track maintenance work on the Madhupur-Jasidih section of Eastern Railway’s Asansol Division.
