Delhi-Bound Trains From Mumbai Rescheduled, Several Services Cancelled Over Anticipated Traffic Congestion

Nearly two dozen long-distance trains linking Uttar Pradesh with the Indian capital, New Delhi, have been cancelled or rescheduled in anticipation of a protest organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar on October 10. Among the disrupted services are prominent trains such as Shatabdi and Tejas. The North Central Railway (NCR), Northern Railway (NR), and North Eastern Railway (NER) have canceled these trains due to concerns of severe road congestion and heavy traffic between 4 am and 2 pm on October 10.

The Railways has not explicitly linked the cancellations to the protest, citing heavy traffic and congestion as the primary reasons. Trains such as the Shatabdi Express (12033) from Kanpur Central to New Delhi and the Intercity Express (14211) from Agra Cantt to New Delhi are among the affected services.

Passengers traveling on these trains are advised to check their train status via the railway helpline 139, the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) app, or other official railway information channels to avoid inconvenience. Refunds will be provided to passengers holding tickets on the impacted services. The cancellations and rescheduling efforts are aimed at ensuring the safety and smooth functioning of railway operations amid anticipated traffic congestion in the vicinity of New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations.
