With the weather conditions showing no signs of improvement, rail traffic remains erratic and so does the misery of passengers. The Railways on Tuesday announced cancellation of eight long-route trains, four remained partially cancelled, two were rescheduled for late departure, two others were diverted and many more were running behind schedule.

The Railways announced cancellation of 13005 Howrah-Amritsar Mail, 14674 Amritsar-Jaynagar Shaheed Express, 13151/52 Kolkata-Jammu Tawi Sealdah Express, 14617/18 Banmankhi- Amritsar-Banmankhi Janasewa Express and 14631/32 Dehradun-Amritsar-Dehradun Express.
