Train services were affected for about six hours in South Eastern Railway's Chakradharpur division on Wednesday due to a traffic cum power block between 9 am and 3 pm.

The traffic-cum-power block was undertaken for construction of a Limited Height Subway.

The subway was constructed replacing an unmanned level crossing between Rajgangpur and Sonakhan of Rourkela-Jharsuguda section under Chakradharpur division of the SER.

The six-hour traffic block resulted in cancellation of 68029/68030 Rourkela-Jharsuguda MEMU passenger train.
