Four trains from Indore and Dr. Ambedkar Nagar to Delhi were cancelled on Friday, and two Mumbai‑Delhi services were delayed by five hours due to a protest in Delhi scheduled for October 10.
Indian Railways cancelled four scheduled services from Indore and Dr. Ambedkar Nagar to the capital on Friday, citing operational disruptions linked to a protest planned in Delhi on October 10. The cancellations left passengers stranded at Indore station, many of whom had to seek alternative transport or reschedule their journeys.
In addition to the cancellations, two long‑distance trains originating from Mumbai towards Delhi departed five hours later than their allotted times. The delay was also attributed to the same protest‑related congestion on the rail network.
Rail officials confirmed that the protest in Delhi was expected to affect several routes passing through the capital, prompting pre‑emptive measures such as train cancellations and timetable adjustments. Travelers were advised to check the official railway portal for real‑time updates and to book alternative arrangements where possible.
The disruption underscores the broader impact of civic actions on India's transportation infrastructure, especially on high‑traffic corridors connecting central and western regions with the national capital.
