Urkura yard remodelling is currently linked to multiple Raipur Division train cancellations on September 13 and 14, 2026. Current South East Central Railway-attributed reporting lists seven affected services on September 13 and three on September 14, while two additional trains are reported to run only on part of their normal routes.
Direct answer: not all Raipur Division trains are cancelled. The disruption applies to specifically listed passenger and MEMU services. Passengers should check their exact train number and travel date, and should distinguish full cancellation from partial route cancellation before leaving for the station.

| Train | Route | Current reported status |
|---|---|---|

Are trains 68861 and 68862 fully cancelled?
No. Current reporting describes partial route cancellation rather than full cancellation. Train 68862 Jharsuguda–Gondia is reported to terminate at Bilaspur, meaning the Bilaspur–Gondia portion does not operate under the temporary plan. Train 68861 Gondia–Jharsuguda is reported to start from Bilaspur, leaving the Gondia–Bilaspur portion cancelled.
Your train is on the full cancellation list
Recheck the exact date and current official train status before departure. Do not rely only on the normal timetable.
Your train is 68861 or 68862
Do not treat it as a complete cancellation. Check which segment is operating and where the temporary journey starts or ends.
Your train is not on the reported list
Do not assume it is cancelled merely because it runs through Raipur Division. Verify its current status through official railway information.
You are travelling on the Raipur–Itwari corridor
Check the exact train number carefully because current secondary reports contain a discrepancy between 58205 and 58206 for one directional service.
Why are the trains being cancelled?
Current reporting attributes the disruption to yard remodelling at Urkura station and associated pre-non-interlocking and non-interlocking work connected with the Urkura East–Raipur Store Depot doubling project.
Is every Raipur Division train cancelled?
No. The reviewed evidence applies only to specifically listed passenger and MEMU services. TPS found no evidence of a Raipur Division-wide shutdown.
Why is there a 58205 versus 58206 discrepancy?
One current report identifies train 58206 as the Raipur–Itwari service in the September 13 cancellation list. Current timetable and train-direction evidence instead identifies 58205 as Raipur–Itwari and 58206 as Itwari–Raipur. Another current cancellation report follows that direction pairing, using 58205 for September 13 and 58206 for September 14.
Because TPS has not directly recovered the controlling SECR notice, this discrepancy should remain visible rather than being silently treated as primary-source resolved. Passengers on this corridor should verify the exact train number through official railway information.
Are replacement trains or buses available?
No substitute service or replacement-bus arrangement was established in the evidence reviewed for this article. Affected passengers should check current railway information for any later alternative arrangement.
What should passengers check before travel?
- Confirm the exact train number and date of travel.
- Check whether the service is fully cancelled or only partially curtailed.
- For the Raipur–Itwari corridor, verify whether your service is 58205 or 58206 rather than relying on a copied cancellation list.
- Check current Indian Railways, NTES or station information before leaving.
- Recheck any later SECR amendment because temporary operating plans can change.
What happens next?
September 13 is the first listed cancellation date, followed by a second set on September 14. The reviewed evidence does not establish that every affected service will automatically return to normal on September 15 without amendment, so any SECR restoration, extension or revised operating notice should supersede the current list.
Verification note
TPS compared multiple current reports that attribute the Urkura engineering block and September 13–14 cancellations to South East Central Railway’s Raipur Division. TPS also checked independent train-direction information for 58205 and 58206 after finding conflicting secondary reporting. The controlling current SECR notice was not directly recovered.
Limitations and unresolved facts
The exact SECR notice identifier, official publication time and detailed NI/pre-NI block timings remain unresolved. TPS also did not verify substitute travel arrangements. The 58205/58206 direction issue is reconciled from current timetable evidence and multiple reports, but the primary SECR notice remains necessary for final authoritative confirmation.
