RAILWAY NEWS: Indian Railways has announced the cancellation of 10 trains, likely causing disruption for passengers on several routes. Due to major infrastructure upgrade work at Gondia station under the Bilaspur Zone of South East Central Railway, train operations will be affected from 3 May to 22 May 2026. While 10 trains have been cancelled, others will operate via diverted routes.
According to railway authorities, a 20-day mega track project will be undertaken at Platform No. 4 of Gondia station. During this period, the washable apron will be replaced with a ballasted track, necessitating the complete closure of Platform No. 4 (Down Main Line). The project aims to enhance train speed, safety, and operational efficiency, though it may result in passenger inconvenience.
