In a big jolt to the railway passengers ahead Holi, the Indian Railways has cancelled and diverted trains on Mailani-Gorakhpur route due to non-interlocking and doubling work on the Lucknow and Gorakhpur rail division.
The doubling work between Daliganj-Badshahnagar-Gomtinagar-Malhaur stations of the Lucknow and Gorakhpur Division of North Eastern Railway has prompted the department to divert the routes of several trains to different dates.
Public relations officer of Lucknow division Mahesh Gupta said that these trains have been cancelled with an aim to improve passenger facilities.
