Indian Railways has suspended several trains departing from Delhi, including Rajdhani and Garib Rath services, following intelligence about potential protests.
Indian Railways announced the cancellation of a number of scheduled services from Delhi after receiving alerts about possible public demonstrations. The decision affects premium trains such as Rajdhani Express as well as budget services like Garib Rath, along with several other long‑distance and intercity trains.
Passengers who had booked tickets for the affected trains have been advised to seek refunds or rebook on alternative routes. The railway authority is coordinating with local law‑enforcement agencies to ensure that commuters can travel safely on unaffected services.
A senior railway spokesperson said the cancellations are a precautionary measure aimed at preventing any disruption to public order. Travelers are urged to stay updated through official railway channels and to plan their journeys accordingly.
The list of cancelled trains will be reviewed periodically, and services may be restored once the protest situation stabilises, officials added.
