-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.&amp;nbsp; The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 &amp;mdash; or 59.64 per cent &amp;mdash; were in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s East Central Railway, UP&amp;rsquo;s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near &amp;ldquo;zero percent&amp;rdquo; punctuality rate in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays &amp;mdash; often stretching to 15 hours &amp;mdash; marked the &amp;ldquo;worst performance&amp;rdquo; by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused &amp;ldquo;by &amp;ldquo;a lot of planned work&amp;rdquo; on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That&amp;rsquo;s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that&amp;rsquo;s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,&amp;rdquo; Jamshed said. &amp;ldquo;This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and &amp;ldquo;law and order&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.&amp;nbsp; The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 &amp;mdash; or 59.64 per cent &amp;mdash; were in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s East Central Railway, UP&amp;rsquo;s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near &amp;ldquo;zero percent&amp;rdquo; punctuality rate in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays &amp;mdash; often stretching to 15 hours &amp;mdash; marked the &amp;ldquo;worst performance&amp;rdquo; by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused &amp;ldquo;by &amp;ldquo;a lot of planned work&amp;rdquo; on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That&amp;rsquo;s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that&amp;rsquo;s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,&amp;rdquo; Jamshed said. &amp;ldquo;This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and &amp;ldquo;law and order&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.&amp;nbsp; The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 &amp;mdash; or 59.64 per cent &amp;mdash; were in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s East Central Railway, UP&amp;rsquo;s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near &amp;ldquo;zero percent&amp;rdquo; punctuality rate in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays &amp;mdash; often stretching to 15 hours &amp;mdash; marked the &amp;ldquo;worst performance&amp;rdquo; by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused &amp;ldquo;by &amp;ldquo;a lot of planned work&amp;rdquo; on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That&amp;rsquo;s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that&amp;rsquo;s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,&amp;rdquo; Jamshed said. &amp;ldquo;This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and &amp;ldquo;law and order&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.&amp;nbsp; The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 &amp;mdash; or 59.64 per cent &amp;mdash; were in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s East Central Railway, UP&amp;rsquo;s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near &amp;ldquo;zero percent&amp;rdquo; punctuality rate in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays &amp;mdash; often stretching to 15 hours &amp;mdash; marked the &amp;ldquo;worst performance&amp;rdquo; by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused &amp;ldquo;by &amp;ldquo;a lot of planned work&amp;rdquo; on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That&amp;rsquo;s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that&amp;rsquo;s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,&amp;rdquo; Jamshed said. &amp;ldquo;This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and &amp;ldquo;law and order&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems.<br />
<br />
</em>Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.&nbsp; The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 &mdash; or 59.64 per cent &mdash; were in Bihar&rsquo;s East Central Railway, UP&rsquo;s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records.<br />
<br />
Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include:<br />
<br />
*Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent.<br />
<br />
*Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near &ldquo;zero percent&rdquo; punctuality rate in May.<br />
<br />
*Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late.<br />
<br />
Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays &mdash; often stretching to 15 hours &mdash; marked the &ldquo;worst performance&rdquo; by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter.<br />
<br />
When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused &ldquo;by &ldquo;a lot of planned work&rdquo; on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That&rsquo;s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that&rsquo;s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,&rdquo; Jamshed said. &ldquo;This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,&rdquo; he said.<br />
<br />
The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and &ldquo;law and order&rdquo;.<br />

60% of all east-bound trains ran late in May -Avishek G Dastidar

-The Indian Express In May, data shows, only 3.04 per cent trains lost punctuality due to law and order problems. Rail passengers travelling to the eastern parts of the country from the north were most affected by train delays in May, according to official data obtained by The Indian Express.  The data show that of the 19,450 trains that failed to keep time from May 1 to May 30 across India, around 11,600 — or 59.64 per cent — were in Bihar’s East Central Railway, UP’s North Central Railway and North Eastern Railway, Kolkata-based Eastern Railway and the New Delhi-based Northern Railway. Over 80 per cent of these delays were due to causes within the control of Railways, such as failure of assets, track problems, operational glitches, and maintenance work, according to the records. Even Rajdhani trains, which get priority of path, were affected by these delays, with their punctuality rate dipping 8.61 per cent to 78 per cent this April-May compared to the same period last year. Other prominent trains catering to the east and hit by these delays in April-May include: *Shramjeevi Express, the popular superfast train connecting New Delhi to Rajgir in Bihar via Varanasi and Patna, was delayed by more than one hour some 22 days in May, clocking a punctuality rate of 4 per cent. *Magadha Express, one of the oldest trains linking New Delhi to Islampur in Bihar, logged a near “zero percent” punctuality rate in May. *Delays were witnessed this month, too, with the Northeast Express, connecting New Delhi to Guwahati via Bihar running 14 hours behind schedule on June 8. On the same day, the Anand Vihar-Bhagalpur Garib Rath Express ran 10 hours late. Railway officials who spoke to The Indian Express on condition of anonymity said that these delays — often stretching to 15 hours — marked the “worst performance” by the Railways in recent years, excluding the fog-hit months of winter. When contacted, Mohammad Jamshed, Railway Board Member (Traffic), said that east-bound trains were delayed due to speed restrictions caused “by “a lot of planned work” on tracks related to maintenance and augmentation of capacity. “Trains, especially to eastern India, are getting delayed. That’s why our overall punctuality has taken a hit. But that’s mostly because a lot of planned work of doubling of lines as well as maintenance are going on for which trains have to run as slow as 20 km per hour at various stretches,” Jamshed said. “This pain is temporary as work on capacity augmentation and maintenance are necessary and cannot be taken up once the monsoon sets in,” he said. The Railways lists 33 categories of reasons for delays, of which seven are outside its direct control, such as the alarm chain being pulled, protests on the tracks, bad weather, accidents, and “law and order”.
