What happened to the trains of Jharkhand? This is the real reason behind sudden hours of delay and cancellation:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Train Schedule : There is some disturbing news for railway passengers in Jharkhand. If you are going to travel by train in the coming days, then definitely check the status of your train once, because many trains have been canceled and some trains are running late by 1 to 2 hours. The reason for all this is the ‘rolling block’ imposed by the Railways.

Now you might be wondering what is this ‘rolling block’? Actually, Railways keeps doing repair and maintenance work from time to time to improve its tracks and infrastructure. When this work is done on a moving railway track, it is called ‘rolling block’. That is, some part of the track is closed for a while and repairs or improvements are made there. This is very important for safety and better travel experience, but it has a direct impact on the timing of the train.

Due to this maintenance work, many trains passing through Jharkhand including Ranchi Railway Division have been canceled or their timings have been changed. Passengers keep waiting for trains and have to face inconvenience. Railways has also expressed regret for this inconvenience and has requested the passengers to check the schedule of their train from the concerned railway station or on the Railway website before travelling, so that sudden delays or cancellations can be avoided.

It is just a matter of a few days until this important work will be completed. Till then, passengers will have to be patient, so that they can enjoy safe and fast train travel in future. So if any of your journey is in Jharkhand or its surrounding areas, then definitely collect information about trains before leaving!
