Indian Railways cancels several trains from December to February due to fog
The Story in Brief
Indian Railways has suspended multiple trains between December 2026 and February 2027 because of winter fog. The Tata-Amritsar Jallianwala Bagh Express (Train No. 18103) will be cancelled from 2 December to 4 February, and its return service (Train No. 18104) from 4 December to 26 February.
The Santragachi-Anand Vihar Express (No. 22857) will not run from 7 December to 22 February, and the Anand Vihar-Santragachi service (No. 22858) from 8 December to 23 February. The Sealdah-Ajmer Express (No. 12987) and its return (No. 12988) will operate only three days a week from 1 December and 2 December respectively, through late February.
Passengers are advised to check train status before travelling and to plan alternative transport if their train is cancelled. The railway helpline number is 139.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The cancellations hit the winter holiday period when demand for rail travel is highest. Passengers who booked hotels in advance for New Year trips now face disruption without a guarantee of alternative seats. The railway helpline number 139 is the only official recourse listed, leaving affected travellers to scramble for last-minute flights or buses, which the source itself warns will be more expensive. No accommodation or refund process beyond a helpline contact has been outlined, so the burden falls entirely on the passenger.
