PRAYAGRAJ/KANPUR/LUCKNOW, Oct. 10 -- Nearly two dozen North Central Railway (NCR), Northern Railway (NR), and North Eastern Railway (NER) trains originating from various Uttar Pradesh cities and connecting the state to Delhi have been cancelled ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar against chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday. These include prominent trains such as Shatabdi and Tejas. However, the Railways has not cited the proposed protest as the reason for cancelling such a large number of trains. The NCR cancelled over 20 mail, express, and passenger trains for two days- October 9 and 10- following a traffic advisory warning of heavy traffic congestion and road jams around New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations on Saturday. "The advisory has predicted severe road congestion and heavy traffic between 4 am and 2 pm on October 10. In view of the situation, the railway has decided to cancel the affected trains from their originating stations (cancel at source)," NCR chief public relations officer Dr Shivam Sharma said on Friday. Senior divisional commercial manager, Lucknow division, NR, Samarth Gupta said the decision was taken due to the ongoing congestion at the two stations. The cancellations have hit several trains connecting Prayagraj, Kanpur, Delhi and other stations. Passengers have been advised to check their train status before starting their journey to avoid inconvenience. From Lucknow, three trains have been affected: Tejas Express (82501) scheduled to depart on Saturday; Lucknow Mail (12229) and Lucknow-New Delhi AC Special (12429), both scheduled to depart on Friday....
