Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s (IRCTC) helpdesk website 'irctchelp.in' informed that “several trains’ cancellations were announced by railways due to various reasons".
Christmas 2022 has fallen on a weekend this time meaning all the way more rush as people head to various holiday destinations ahead of the beginning of a new year. However, travel plans keep changing at the last minute during these days in view of foggy weather and winter chills that have engulfed parts of India, majorly the north Indian belt. Consequently, the adverse weather conditions and other factors have prompted the Indian Railways to fully or partially cancel as many as nearly 350 trains on Sunday.
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s (IRCTC) helpdesk website 'irctchelp.in' informed that “several trains’ cancellations were announced by railways due to various reasons”. While 275 trains were fully cancelled, the website noted that nearly 80 trains were partially cancelled today.
