Such maintenance is important for improving railway safety, ensuring smoother operations, and reducing the chances of technical issues in the future.
While the temporary disruptions may cause inconvenience, the work is aimed at improving the overall travel experience for passengers.
What Should Passengers Do?
Railway officials have advised passengers to verify the latest status of their trains before starting their journey.
Checking train schedules in advance can help avoid unnecessary delays, confusion, and last-minute travel problems.
If you are travelling between June 9 and June 14, make sure to confirm whether your train is running normally, partially, or has been cancelled before heading to the station.
