CJP Protest: Which Trains Are Cancelled?

Indian Railways has cancelled trains arriving at and departing from New Delhi Railway Station and Hazrat Nizamuddin between 4 AM and 2 PM on October 10, citing anticipated severe traffic congestion around the stations. Several long-distance services, including Rajdhani and other premium trains, are affected.

The cancellation list is not the same for every route. Check your train number and PNR through the official Indian Railways enquiry website.

Why Is CJP Protesting?

CJP and other groups have raised concerns about the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and are demanding accountability from the Chief Election Commissioner. Authorities say the restrictions are precautionary measures to prevent crowd movement towards sensitive locations.

Is Delhi completely shut? No blanket citywide bandh has been announced. However, metro access, railway journeys and travel around central Delhi may be significantly affected. Commuters should allow extra time, verify services before travelling and follow official advisories.
