Thousands of rail passengers in Delhi faced severe disruptions as train operations ceased following an intensifying protest by the Central Judicial Panel (CJP). The work stoppage brought major rail corridors to a standstill during peak commute hours, forcing commuters to seek alternative transportation.
The protest action extended beyond train services, with digital payment infrastructure at rail stations becoming unavailable. The absence of UPI and other cashless payment options added to passenger difficulties, as those attempting to purchase tickets or access station amenities encountered additional hurdles.
Railway authorities did not provide an immediate timeline for service resumption. Commuters expressed frustration over the disruption, with many left scrambling to arrange alternate transportation for their journeys.
The CJP protest underscores ongoing tensions within Delhi's railway administration. Officials have urged all parties to resolve disputes through dialogue while assuring the public that normalcy will be restored at the earliest opportunity.
