Í verulegu áfalli til Indian lestarferðaáætlanir, 74 lestarsamgöngur sem tengja Kerala við norðurríki verða aflýst á milli 6. janúar og 7. febrúar.

Þessi ákvörðun stafar af ósamlæstu vinnu á Mathura Junction stöðinni, eins og ráðlagt er af North Central Railway yfirvöldum. Lestir sem verða fyrir áhrifum eru meðal annars lykilleiðir eins og Ernakulam Junction – Hazrat Nizamuddin Junction DURONTO Weekly Superfast Express, Kochuveli – Amritsar Junction Weekly Superfast Express, og Thiruvananthapuram Central – New Delhi Kerala Superfast Express.

Afbókanir hafa áhrif á 16 lestir með mörgum dagsetningum truflaðar fyrir hverja þjónustu, sem markar fordæmalausa hreyfingu í langferðalestum. Venjulega er öðrum leiðum raðað í stað fjöldaafbókana meðan á viðhaldi innviða stendur, sem undirstrikar óþægindi fyrir farþega, eins og heimildarmaður sem þekkir til ástandsins nefnir.

Hins vegar vörðu járnbrautaryfirvöld ákvörðunina með því að vitna í áframhaldandi innviði og þróunarstarfsemi um allt land undir stjórn Modi. Þeir benda til þess að þessar afpantanir, þó þær séu truflandi, séu hluti af nauðsynlegum skrefum til framtíðarbóta á járnbrautarkerfinu.

Þetta ástand veldur miklu áfalli fyrir ferðamenn sem reiða sig á þessa mikilvægu lestarþjónustu, vekur áhyggjur af áhrifum á ferðaáætlanir og óþægindum af völdum skyndilegra afbókana.
