Railways Plan To Resume Traffic Goes Haywire - AvaniHolidays

Just a day after the Northern Railway authorities restored operation of passenger and goods trains after two months of ‘rail roko’ agitation by farmers against farm related Acts of the Modi government, one dissident group led by Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Morcha again laid a siege to rail tracks at Jandiala on the Jalandhar-Amritsar section putting the schedule once again in jeopardy.

Consequently, railways announced cancellation of five trains terminating at and originating from Amritsar. These are 04623/24 Saharsa-Amritsar-Saharsa Superfast Express (Nov 25, 26), 04651/52 Jaynagar-Amritsar-Jaynagar Humsafar Express (Nov 25, 27) and 04654 Amritsar-Newjalpiguri Humsafar Express (Nov 25).
