Railways cancels 38 Delhi-bound trains including Rajdhani, Tejas & Humsafar ahead of CJP protest

Ahead of the upcoming protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in New Delhi, Indian Railways cancelled 38 Delhi-bound trains on Friday. This decision was made in anticipation of severe road traffic congestion around the city's railway stations. The Northern Railway announced that all Mail/Express trains scheduled to arrive at New Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin stations between 4am and 2pm on October 10, 2026, would be cancelled at their source.

Notable cancelled trains included premium services such as Shatabdi, Humsafar, Rajdhani, and Tejas. Other cancelled trains included Magadh Express, Prayagraj-New Delhi Shatabdi Express, and Manikpur-Hazrat Nizamuddin Sampark Kranti Express. Some trains, like Kerala Express departing from Thiruvananthapuram Central, were not cancelled.

The sudden restrictions on public transport have faced criticism, with concerns raised that the government is attempting to prevent protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar. The Supreme Court cautioned the government to ensure that their actions do not unduly disrupt citizens' daily lives and urged adherence to the principle of proportionality.
