While I understand safety concerns, the communication could be better. Many passengers learn about cancellations only when they reach the station. Railways should improve their alert system.

Jammu rains have been unusually heavy this year. Good to see railway officials working on "war footing" as they mentioned. Hope all services normalize before Diwali season!

The Rail Madad helpline (139) is actually quite helpful. Used it last month during train delays and got proper information. Good that they're promoting it in the announcement 👍
