Indian Railways has cancelled four services and postponed two by five hours on October 10, citing anticipated heavy traffic congestion in Delhi.
Indian Railways announced on October 9 that four scheduled trains heading to Delhi will be cancelled on October 10 due to the forecast of severe traffic congestion in the capital. The decision aims to avoid operational disruptions that could arise from gridlock on key access routes to the city.
In addition to the cancellations, two other services—originating from Indore, Dahod and Mumbai—have been rescheduled with a five‑hour delay. Passengers on these trains have been advised to check the revised timings on the official railway portal or through mobile apps.
Railway officials emphasized that the move is precautionary and that safety and punctuality remain priorities. Travelers are urged to explore alternative modes of transport or adjust their travel plans accordingly.
The cancellations affect a mix of express and superfast trains that typically carry a high volume of business and leisure travelers to the national capital. The railway authority will continue to monitor traffic conditions and may issue further updates if the situation changes.
