Millions of passengers travel across India daily, relying on thousands of trains to connect distant regions. However, in August and early September 2025, several train services will be disrupted due to essential track maintenance and technical work, with the maximum impact on routes under the Chakradharpur division.
The affected services include complete cancellations and short terminations, leaving many passengers stranded if they fail to check train schedules in advance. Railways has urged travellers to confirm their train's operational status before heading to the station.
