Dehradun-Amritsar & Hemkunt Exp cancelled due to protest again
Description
Dehradun: The farmers' protest in Punjab has again led to the cancellation of the Dehradun-Amritsar Lahori Express (14631/32) and the Rishikesh-Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Hemkunt Express (14609/10). Both the trains have been cancelled for Sunday as farmers are staging a 'rail roko' protest in Punjab to push their demand for a loan waiver. They are also demanding compensation for the families of those farmers who died during the agitation against the three contentious farm laws. Due to the protest, the trains had to be stopped midway, leaving several passengers stranded, said Sitaram Sonkar, superintendent of Dehradun railway station.
