NEW DELHI: Train services between Howrah and Delhi have been completely disrupted after overhead wire snapped near Shikohabad station in Uttar Pradesh
Important trains stranded on the route include Magadh Express; Garib Rath; Patna, Howrah and Guwahati Rajdhani Express.
Train services between Kanpur and Delhi have been completely disrupted since morning after overhead wires snapped near Shikohabad station in Uttar Pradesh.
According to a railway spokesperson, the services came to a halt around 7.30am after a high tension cable running above snapped.
Several trains, including Rajdhani Express trains from Howrah and Patna have been held up mid-way, the spokesperson said, adding, work was in progress to repair the wires.
The incident has come at a time when fog has crippled train services in parts of north India, leading to several cancellations since the last fortnight.
