A protest led by the Chief Justice of India has halted train services and disrupted UPI internet access for passengers at Delhi railway stations.
Delhi rail passengers are confronting a dual disruption as a protest organized by the Chief Justice of India has resulted in the suspension of several train services. The stoppage has left commuters stranded at major stations across the capital.
In addition to the train cancellations, the protest has caused a temporary outage of internet services used for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions. Passengers have reported difficulty in completing digital payments for tickets, food and other on‑site purchases.
Railway authorities have issued advisories urging travelers to seek alternative transport modes and to use cash where digital payment options are unavailable. Officials are monitoring the situation and have not provided a timeline for the restoration of services.
The disruption underscores the broader impact of civic actions on everyday commuters, highlighting the reliance of modern rail travel on both physical and digital infrastructure.
