I couldn’t find any official notification stating that all passenger train services have been canceled up to 3 May 2025.

❓ What’s Actually Happening:

  • At this time, Indian Railways has not issued any nationwide order extending suspension of all passenger trains until 3 May 2025.
  • Numerous individual trains and routes have been canceled or regulated due to maintenance, power blocks, or infrastructure works, particularly in regions like Ranchi, Tatanagar, and parts of Western Railway. These are localized disruptions, not system-wide extensions.

📆 Examples of Zone-Specific Disruptions:

  • Western Railway will suspend several local train services between May 31 and June 2, 2025, related to track and yard work in the Kandivali division.
  • South Eastern Railway announced early June disruptions due to maintenance in its divisions—many trains are canceled, diverted, or short-terminated.
  • The Northern Railway, South Central Railway, and Southern Railway have issued press releases on sporadic cancellations/rescheduling of individual train services in May–June 2025.

✅ In Summary

Statement Status
Nationwide passenger services canceled until 3 May 2025 ❌ No evidence found
Some zones extending cancellations due to local work ✅ Yes, localized blocks/trains
Suspension notices for specific trains ✅ Yes, regionally posted

🧭 What You Can Do

  • For your travel route: Check via NTES, IRCTC app, or official zone’s “Cancellation/Regulation” page to see if your specific train is impacted.
  • If you saw any announcement—or a rumor—claiming “cancellations until 03‑May‑2025 across all services”, please share the source—I’ll help verify its accuracy.

Let me know if you want me to check the status of a specific train number, zone, or travel corridor!
