However, the scheduled line block in the Chakradharpur division on June 5 was canceled, providing some relief to passengers. The Tatanagar-Ernakulam train will run on a revised route from June 7 to 14 due to line blocks in the Sambalpur division of Odisha, passing through Chaibasa station. This change will inconvenience passengers at Chakradharpur, Lotapahad, Rourkela, and other stations. The Tatanagar-Yesvantpur and Bengaluru trains will run on an alternate route every Thursday and Friday until June 30 due to line blocks in Vijayawada. In Adityapur, the new RRI system (Route Relay Interlocking) is scheduled to be commissioned in the first week of July, which requires line blocks to update the operational system. These blocks will result in cancellations and schedule changes for trains on the Howrah-Mumbai, Tatanagar-Delhi, and Bihar-UP routes, causing travel disruptions for thousands of passengers.
