10 October Delhi protest: trains to New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin cancelled
The Indian Railways have cancelled all mail and express trains scheduled to arrive at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations between 4 am and 2 pm on 10 October 2026, in view of a protest by the Cockroach Janata Party in Delhi that day. Trains that were to depart from their origin stations after 2 pm on 9 October for arrival at these stations during that window have also been cancelled at source, the railway said. Among the cancelled trains are the Patna Rajdhani Express, Sampoorna Kranti Express and Magadh Express, as well as trains from Mumbai, Udaipur, Indore, Bengaluru and other cities, tv9hindi reports.
Some trains, including the 12951 Mumbai Central-New Delhi and 12953 Mumbai Central-Hazrat Nizamuddin, have been rescheduled by five hours. The cancellations come a day before the start of Sharadiya Navratri on 11 October, which the outlet notes may add to traveller hardship. Passengers are advised to check train status on the NTES app, the railway website enquiry.indianrail.gov.in or helpline 139 before leaving home, and allow extra time for traffic near the two stations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both tv9hindi.com reports cover the same cancellations identically but frame them differently. The first (11:23 IST) leads with the operational trigger, the anticipated traffic congestion near the two stations, and devotes most of its length to a step-by-step guide on using NTES, the website and helpline 139 to check train status. The second (12:27 IST) leads with the passenger impact, naming specific cancelled trains such as the Patna Rajdhani, Sampoorna Kranti and Magadh Expresses from Bihar and trains from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and elsewhere, and adds the forecast that the cancellations come ahead of Sharadiya Navratri starting 11 October, which may increase passenger hardship. Both are uniform wire copy: the first is an advisory for how to check status, the second a partial list of cancelled and rescheduled trains.
