Delhi-Una Janshatabdi first passenger train to Punjab in nearly 2 months

NEW DELHI: The New Delhi-Una Janshatabdi Express, the first passenger train to depart for Punjab after nearly two months, left the capital on Monday afternoon with 559 passengers on board, officials said.
Train services were suspended in the state since September 24 when the farmers protesting against the new farm laws converged on railway stations and tracks.
The Railways had said on Saturday it would soon resume goods and passenger trains in Punjab after the farmers decided to allow the services and the State Government communicated that the tracks were clear.
While the Northern Railway has announced the restoration of 25 trains, the North Central Railway has announced the resumption of six trains. (AGENCIES)
