Since the train’s occupancy fell short of 554 seats, the UT Administration decided against running another train, which was scheduled for Monday.

The Administration had planned two Shramik trains for Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, scheduled for Friday and Monday from Chandigarh to Patna (Bihar) with stoppage at Saharanpur, Moradabad, Bareilly, Hardoi, Lucknow, Raibareilly, Amethi, Pratapgarh, Varanasi, Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhayaya Junction (Mugal Sarai), Buxar and Ara stations.

An official stated the Administration had made several efforts for optimum utilisation of train capacity. “In the past two days, more than 11,000 registered persons were contacted through telephone calls and SMS for the Friday’s train to Uttar Pradesh.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
