Rail passengers traveling across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have been put on alert as South Central Railway has announced the cancellation of several train services. The railway authorities confirmed that a total of 15 trains will remain cancelled until April 19 citing ongoing infrastructure and safety works.

According to officials the decision has been taken as part of essential track maintenance activities along with modernization efforts such as electrification track doubling and advanced signaling upgrades. These works are currently underway between Mahabubnagar and Manyamkonda stations involving non interlocking operations to ensure safer and more efficient train movement in the future.
