Power cuts: Railways to cancel 670 passenger train trips to rush coal rakes

The spike in coal requirement due to the steep increase in electricity demand has forced Indian Railways to cancel around 16 mail/express and passenger trains daily in the past couple of weeks to create extra paths for rakes carrying the key ingredient to power plants located across the country. The railway ministry has notified the cancellation of nearly 670 trips of passenger trains till May 24.
