Passengers travelling from Ahmedabad to New Delhi have been advised to make alternative arrangements after Indian Railways cancelled the Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express on October 9 ahead of planned protests in the national capital. The decision comes amid warnings of road closures and heavy traffic congestion around major railway stations in Delhi on October 10.
The cancellation is part of a precautionary measure aimed at preventing passengers from getting stranded or missing their trains because of disruptions on city roads.
Delhi Traffic Restrictions Expected On October 10
According to an advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic Police, traffic congestion and road restrictions are expected around New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations between 4 am and 2 pm on October 10.
The restrictions are linked to a planned protest and possible road blockade by opposition parties. The expected disruption has prompted railway authorities to review train operations to and from the capital.
A similar protest reportedly caused difficulties for around 5,000 passengers, who were unable to reach railway stations on time because of road closures and consequently missed their trains.
Ahmedabad–New Delhi Rajdhani Among Cancelled Services
Train No. 12957, the Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express running from Ahmedabad to New Delhi, has been cancelled from its originating station on October 9.
The railway administration has also announced the cancellation of mail and express trains departing from their originating stations after 2 pm on October 9 and scheduled to arrive in Delhi between 4 am and 2 pm on October 10.
The move is intended to minimise passenger inconvenience during the period of anticipated traffic disruption.
Passengers Advised To Check Train Status
Indian Railways has urged passengers to verify their train status before leaving for the station and to keep track of official announcements regarding cancellations and other changes.
Travellers can check updates through the official Indian Railways website or contact railway helplines for assistance.
Passengers planning to travel from Ahmedabad to Delhi are advised to confirm their booking status and explore alternative travel arrangements before setting out.
