Of the 13 trains cancelled by North Western Railway, most are from Haryana

Hisar: Of the 13 Delhi-bound trains cancelled by the North Western Railway for Saturday ahead of the Jantar Mantar protest, most are from Haryana.

Though the railways cited "operational reasons" for the cancellation, the move comes ahead of the protests called by the Cockroach Janata Party and other groups in Delhi on October 10, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The CJP, which has held demonstrations in Mumbai and Bengaluru, alleged that the government is intentionally restricting transport services to prevent people from participating in the demonstration.

In Mumbai, the outfit's founder Abhijeet Dipke slammed the Centre, saying it should shut down the entire country if it is scared of the youth.
