Several trains plying mainly on the Chhattisgarh route have been cancelled ahead of Raksha Bandhan. Similarly, routes of trains like the Delhi-Vishakhapatnam Swarna Jayanti Express have been rescheduled. Nearly 100 trips on 12 trains, including the superfast Rajdhani Express, have been cancelled between August 3 and August 19—the festival day. The cancellation of trains and rescheduled routes are likely to impact more than a lakh passengers who had made reservations to travel to their loved ones during Raskha Bandhan. According to railway officials, some trains have been canceled due to technical reasons. The routes have been revised for other trains to minimize the inconvenience to passengers.
