Travelling To Delhi On October 10? These Trains Face Cancellations And Delays

Indian Railways has cancelled several trains and rescheduled two others ahead of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest scheduled for October 10, citing expected heavy traffic near New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations.

The cancellations affect Mail and Express trains scheduled to arrive at the two stations between 4 AM and 2 PM on Saturday.

The Railway Ministry said the precautionary measures aim to minimise passenger inconvenience.

Trains departing their originating stations after 2 PM on October 9 have been cancelled if they were scheduled to reach either station during the affected hours.

Eastern Railway cancelled two Rajdhani Express services from West Bengal: train 12301 (Howrah–New Delhi Rajdhani Express) and train 12313 (Sealdah–New Delhi Rajdhani Express).

Railways officials have rescheduled two Mumbai Central services by five hours.

Train 12953, the Mumbai Central–Hazrat Nizamuddin service, was due to depart at 05:10 PM and arrive at 09:43 AM on October 10.
