FOUR TRAINS, including the Chandigarh-New Delhi Shatabdi Express (12046), were cancelled, and 12 others were diverted, or delayed due to the ‘Rail Roko’ protest called by farmers on Monday to demand the dismissal and arrest of Union Minister Ajay Mishra in connection with the massacre in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri.
The delayed/diverted trains included the New Delhi-Chandigarh Shatabdi (12045), which was halted at Ambala railway station. Hundreds of passengers faced inconvenience, with many of them having to hire private transport to continue their journey from Ambala.
Railway Station Superintendent, Chandigarh, JP Singh, said, “Three passenger trains — including two Kalka-Ambala, and Ambala-Kalka Passengers — were fully cancelled on Monday. Passengers of Chandigarh Shatabdi (12046) will be refunded their full fare automatically.
