Ludhiana, November 21

There was no respite for rail passengers as most long-route trains continued with their erratic run. While one train remained cancelled, four were rescheduled for late departure and three others were diverted via alternative routes. Harried passengers, made to wait indefinitely at railway stations, kept fuming and fretting over the failure of the railway authorities to maintain the schedule.

According to railways, 13006 Amritsar-Howrah Mail train was cancelled for the day which upset the travel plans of a large number of passengers with confirmed reservation as no room was available in alternative trains running on this route.

Among the rescheduled trains were 14673 Jaynagar-Amritstar Shaheed Express (7 hrs), 15209 Saharsa-Amritsar Jansewa Express (3.15 hrs), 15210 Amritsar-Saharsa Jansewa Express (5.35 hrs) and 18104 Amritsar-Tatanagar Jallianwala Bagh Express (1.45 hrs).

The 15656 Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra-Kamakhya Express, 22318 Jammu Tawi-Sealdah Humsafar Express and 22430 Pathankot-Delhi Superfast Express trains were diverted via alternative route from Ludhiana to Ambala Cantt.
