In a precautionary move to address safety concerns during the winter season, Northern Railway has announced the cancellation of 24 trains from December 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026. Dense fog and haze are expected to disrupt regular train operations across several routes, prompting preventive measures to ensure passenger safety.

Impact on Najibabad Railway Station

Among the cancelled services are four major trains that pass through Najibabad railway station, significantly impacting travel plans in the region. The affected trains include:

  • Train number 14615, running once a week from Lalkuan to Amritsar (in the up direction).
  • Train number 14616, running from Amritsar to Lalkuan (in the down direction).
  • Jan Sewa Express trains 14617 (Sirsa to Amritsar, daily service).
  • Train number 14618 is running in the down direction.

Official Reason and Response

Railway officials have confirmed that these cancellations have been implemented following instructions from the railway headquarters and the ministry to ensure passenger safety during the frequency of dense fog events in northern India during the colder months. While railways strive to maintain normal operations during winter, cancellations often begin as soon as foggy conditions arise.

Advisory for Passengers

Passengers are strongly advised to verify train schedules and reservation statuses on the official railway website before booking their travel to avoid inconvenience. Northern Railway emphasised that these measures are vital to prevent accidents and maintain smooth operations during adverse weather conditions.
