The Railways incurred heavy revenue losses due to cancellation or delay in running trains amid last four protests led by farmers wherein rail traffic in the state was blocked.
In these four agitations held in the past three months, a total amount of ₹4,15,520 was refunded to passengers, who got their tickets booked from the booking counters at the Ludhiana railway station.
According to officials, more than 70% of the reservations are made online and thus, the Railways incurred major losses by issuing refunds there.
