These disruptions are set to inconvenience regular commuters, particularly those who rely on the Balharshah-Kazipet Memu Express and Sirpur-Kagaznagar Intercity Express for their daily travel needs. Residents of Mancherial, Peddapalli, Ramagundam, Jammikunta and Kazipet, who frequently use these services, will be forced to seek alternative modes of transportation, such as buses or superfast express trains, which operate on limited schedules.

"The planned cancellation of 78 trains has been announced, and all affected passengers will receive a complete refund for their purchased tickets," said a railway official. "Among the cancelled trains, only four operate daily, while the rest run on a weekly or biweekly basis. These cancellations are necessary to facilitate crucial ongoing works."
