Passengers, who were scheduled to travel to New Delhi but were stranded due to the cancellation and rescheduling of several trains in view of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest on Saturday, complained about the inconvenience caused due to the agitation and its resulting decision by the Indian Railways.
People are facing difficulties, and everyone is stranded. Those who need to reach their respective destinations are stuck here. This is having a major impact on the daily lives of people in India.”
Expressing disappointment, a youngster said, “I just saw the news that all trains are cancelled from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, and even today, many trains have been diverted or cancelled.
A commuter, who was waiting at the Jammu railway station, said, “Look at how much chaos has been created here.
“Students’ class timings, plans and schedules have to be changed, and this is creating a lot of problems. We do not know whether the government understands these issues or not. Booking train tickets has already become very difficult these days. We are unable to get Tatkal tickets, and even booking regular tickets has also become difficult. Now, when someone manages to book a ticket with so much difficulty and boards a train, the train gets cancelled.
Someone has to be held accountable for this,” he told IANS. A passenger at the Kanpur railway station said that following the cancellation and rescheduling of trains, he will have to divide his journey by first travelling by bus and then later by train.
Now I have to break up my journey and travel in parts. I will first take a bus to travel 50-60 km and then take the next available train from the railway station there.”
Speaking to IANS, he said, ”I was trying to go to Delhi right now, but now no train from Kanpur to Delhi is available at all.
