The protest by the Chief Justice of India in Delhi has forced Indian Railways to cancel and reschedule several services, including premium Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains.
Indian Railways announced a sweeping cancellation and rescheduling of trains after a demonstration by the Chief Justice of India in Delhi. The disruption primarily impacts the country's flagship services, with several Rajdhani and Shatabdi Expresses among those halted or delayed.
The railway authority issued an advisory early Wednesday, listing the affected trains and providing revised timings where possible. Passengers were advised to check the official website or mobile app for the latest updates before planning travel.
Officials said the decision was taken to ensure safety of commuters and staff amid the protest that has blocked key routes near the capital. The cancellations are expected to affect thousands of passengers traveling across the north‑south corridor.
Railway spokespersons assured that normal operations would resume once the protest clears the tracks, and urged travelers to remain patient while alternative arrangements are made.
The incident underscores how judicial protests can ripple through critical infrastructure, prompting authorities to balance civic expression with public service continuity.
