"The weather condition in Delhi is better but not in other parts of the country. There is a heavy backlog leading to many delays and rescheduling of trains," a Northern Railways spokesperson told IANS.

Sixteen Delhi bound trains were running late on Monday and three outbound trains - Northeast Express, Seemanchal Express and Bandra Garibrath Express - have been rescheduled.

In all, 30 trains have been cancelled on Monday due to inclement weather conditions and of these 17 trains have been cancelled until Jan 31.
