What is the reason for these delays?

Even after the work was completed and the block lifted, it took some time for normal operations to resume, causing continued delays for several services.
Which trains are being controlled en route?
Three major trains are being controlled along their paths to manage traffic during the work. These include the 20503 and 20505 Dibrugarh-New Delhi Rajdhani Express and the 15715 Kishanganj-Ajmer Express.
