Puttur, 12 August 2026: Passengers travelling between Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Karwar will need to plan ahead as six train services have been cancelled on multiple dates in October and November 2026 due to railway engineering works.
The cancellations are linked to a line block for track maintenance and other engineering work between Srivagilu and Yedakumari railway stations. The Southwestern Railway's Mysuru Division has announced the cancellations on different dates.
For passengers from Puttur and surrounding areas who depend on the Bengaluru–Mangaluru railway connection, checking the train's running status and cancellation date before travelling will be important.

Why are the trains being cancelled?
According to the railway information cited in the report, engineering and track-maintenance work is being carried out between Srivagilu and Yedakumari. A line block has therefore been planned, requiring the affected services to be cancelled on specified dates.
Passengers advised to check before travel
The cancellations affect services connecting the Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Karwar regions. Passengers who have already planned journeys on the affected dates should check their booking and train status before travelling and make alternative arrangements where necessary.
For Puttur passengers, the disruption is particularly relevant because the Bengaluru–Mangaluru rail corridor is an important travel route for people travelling towards Mangaluru and Bengaluru.
Note: The cancellations are on specific dates rather than for one continuous 12-day period. Passengers should therefore check the exact date and train number before making travel arrangements.
