Indian Railways Cancels and Diverts 845 Trains for Two-Week Bihar Maintenance Block
Indian Railways will implement a two-week maintenance block from September 21 to October 4, 2026, affecting 845 trains in Bihar. The work involves non-interlocking tasks to commission a new double-line rail bridge over the Ganga near Mokama, improving regional rail capacity. During this period, 338 trains will be cancelled, 384 diverted, 56 short-terminated, and 67 will originate from different stations. The existing single-line Rajendra Bridge cannot be doubled, prompting this infrastructure upgrade.
