Indian Railways has cancelled a number of services in Andhra Pradesh as Cyclone Murasu approaches, issuing a comprehensive list of affected trains.
As Cyclone Murasu gathers strength over the Bay of Bengal, Indian Railways announced the cancellation of several passenger and freight services operating in Andhra Pradesh. The decision was taken to safeguard passengers, railway staff and infrastructure from the expected heavy rain and strong winds.
The railway authority released a detailed list naming each affected train, along with the stations where services will be halted or rescheduled. Travelers have been advised to check the official railway portal or contact helplines for the latest updates before planning journeys.
In addition to cancellations, the railways are deploying extra staff at major stations to assist stranded commuters and to manage crowd control. Alternative transport arrangements, including bus services, are being coordinated with state agencies to mitigate inconvenience.
Authorities continue to monitor the cyclone’s trajectory and will issue further advisories if conditions worsen. Passengers are urged to prioritize safety and avoid non‑essential travel until the weather stabilises.
