IANS, 05 Mar, 2019 07:58 PM

    At least 25 trains were cancelled and seven others diverted on Tuesday as protesting farmers blocked railway tracks in Punjab's Amritsar, a Northern Railways statement said.


    The agitation has left scores of passengers moving to and from Amritsar stranded.


    Two trains—the New Delhi-Amritsar Shatabdi Express and the New Delhi-Amritsar Shan-E-Punjab Express—were short-terminated in Jalandhar and Beas, respectively.


    The trains which were cancelled include the New Delhi-Jalandhar Intercity Express, Amritsar-Haridwar Jan Shatabdi Express, Haridwar-Amritsar Jan Shatabdi Express, Chandigarh-Amritsar Superfast Express and the Nangaldam-Amritsar Express.


    Trains which have been diverted include the Delhi-Pathankot Superfast Express, Amritsar-New Delhi Shatabdi Express and the Amritsar-Sealdah Akal Takht Express.


    The farmers are staging a protest to press for various demands, including the implementation of the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission report.
