Meanwhile, some trains scheduled to depart on 16 July and 17 July are also cancelled or diverted or short-terminated.
Those who have planned to travel by train on the Northern Railways routes can access the information from the official website of Northern Railways.
Due to the flood-like situation, the railways had to stop train services as a precautionary measure.
"It rained heavily on July 8-9...The rain that happens in the mountains comes down to the plains, and as a result, many of our tracks got submerged. So as a precautionary measure, we had to stop the train service,” said General Manager of Northern Railways.
