Passengers stranded in Jammu, Katra after train cancellations
The Jammu railway division said it has made special arrangements to help passengers, officials said
Passengers travelling from Jammu and Katra to various destinations across the country faced significant inconvenience due to the cancellation of four trains scheduled to depart on Friday, October 9, 2026. The cancellations were due to anticipated traffic congestion around New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations, with the Jammu railway division making special arrangements to assist passengers.
Over 250 trains connecting New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations with destinations across the country were cancelled, including those scheduled to depart after 2 p.m. on October 9, and those arriving between 4 am and 2 p.m. on October 10. Many passengers, who had booked their tickets two to three months in advance, found themselves stranded at Jammu Tawi and Katra railway stations upon learning of the cancellations only a short time before their departure.
Narinder Singh, a passenger from West Bengal, expressed frustration over the lack of advance notice and the subsequent difficulty in arranging alternative transport for himself and his family.
