Passengers at Kishanganj Railway Station faced severe hardships on Sunday, June 22, 2026, as several key express trains arrived with massive delays. Many travelers were stranded on platforms for hours due to the disrupted schedule. The delays ranged from 3 to 8 hours, affecting thousands of commuters traveling across the Northeast Frontier Railway zone.
Which trains were most affected by the delays?
Multiple long-distance trains saw significant timing shifts on Sunday. The Kamakhya-Puri Express was the worst hit, arriving nearly 8 hours late. Other major trains also faced delays as listed below:
| Train Name | Delay Duration |
|---|---|
| Kamakhya-Puri Express | Approx 8 Hours |
| Brahmaputra Mail | Over 6 Hours |
| Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express | Approx 5 Hours |
| Kamakhya AC Superfast Express | Over 4 Hours |
| Silchar Express | Over 3 Hours |
What are the reasons for these delays?
Railway officials stated that track maintenance and signaling upgradation work are ongoing in several sections to improve safety. Specifically, the implementation of an automatic block signaling system at stations like Panjipara, Kishanganj, Hatwar, Kanki, and Surajkamal is expected to make future operations faster and safer. Additionally, doubling work in the Katihar division has led to some trains being diverted or having their stops changed.
What facilities and future plans are in place?
Despite earning ₹116 crore in revenue, there are concerns regarding the lack of clean drinking water and proper sheds at Kishanganj station. To solve this, a proposal for a “New Kishanganj Railway Station” is under consideration. The ministry also announced stops for 11 trains, including the Sealdah-New Alipurduar Express and Agartala-Anand Vihar (T) Tejas Rajdhani Express, to better serve the region.
