Doon-Amritsar Exp cancelled due to protest
Description
Dehradun: Farmers’ protest in Punjab has prompted the Moradabad division of Northern Railways to cancel 14631/32 Dehradun- Amritsar Lahori Express for Thursday. The agitating farmers have been blocking railway tracks to disrupt train movements on various routes to press their demand for a loan waiver. The protestors are also demanding compensation and a job for the kin of those who died in the agitation against farm laws. When queried about the disruption of train movements, Sitaram Sonkar, Dehradun station superintendent, told TOI, "The Dehradun- Amritsar Lahori Express had to be cancelled at the last moment in view of the farmers' protest. The Rishikesh-Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Hemkund Express (14609/10) has also been suspended for Thursday."
