Delhi-Hathras Trains Cancelled Amid Planned Protests
Train services connecting Hathras and the Delhi region are facing massive disruptions on October 9 and 10, 2026. This comes as a precautionary measure following a directive from the Railway Board’s coaching directorate to mitigate expected road traffic congestion caused by planned protests by the CJP group in the national capital.
The disruption has already caused significant distress for commuters. At Hathras Junction, passengers reported extreme inconvenience, with many forced to find alternative transport after waiting for hours. On October 8, approximately 5,000 passengers reportedly missed their scheduled trains due to related civil unrest and intense traffic gridlock.
Mass Cancellations and Safety Measures
To ensure passenger safety, North Central Railway has implemented widespread service suspensions. Dr. Shivam Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of North Central Railway, confirmed that services are being suspended between 4 AM and 2 PM on October 10. The move is intended to manage the chaos expected around major hubs like New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations.
