Why trains are cancelled in punjab?

Lately, the biggest reason has been the farmers' protests. You've probably heard about their 'rail roko' andolan. They are demanding a legal guarantee for MSP on their crops. To press their demands, they often block the railway tracks. This forces the railways to either cancel, divert, or short-terminate many trains for safety and operational reasons.

Besides the protests, there are the usual suspects. During winter, dense fog in North India causes massive delays and cancellations. At other times, it could be due to essential track maintenance or other technical issues.

It’s always a good idea to check the NTES app or the railway website for real-time updates before planning your travel. It can be quite unpredictable.
