Passengers urged to check train status as festival season approaches

With the festive period fast approaching, passenger volumes are expected to rise. The extensive block will not only cancel trains but also force route changes for express services like the 18477 Puri‑Yog Nagri Rishikesh Uttarakhand Express, which will be diverted via Katak‑Sambalpur City‑Jharsuguda Road‑IB. Additionally, the 12860 Howrah‑CSMT Geetanjali Express will depart about two hours late on October 13. Travelers should confirm train numbers, dates, and revised routes well in advance to avoid last‑minute hassles.
