Trains not allowed to ply

Description

After the Railways resumed train services to Punjab, farmers under the banner of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee on Tuesday blocked the track at the Jandiala station in Amritsar district to stop plying of passenger trains as part of their “rail roko” agitation against the agriculture laws. Committee’s Punjab general secretary Sarvan Singh Pandher said they would let the goods trains go but not the passenger trains. He said a group of five members will stay at the station to check whether it is passenger or goods train.
