Ludhiana:
Protesting the Centre's alleged inaction against 1984 riots accused, more than 200 activists of various Sikh outfits on Friday blocked rail tracks on the Ludhiana-Delhi section.
A group of protestors squatted on the rail tracks here and raised slogans against the government.
As a result, the New Delhi-bound Shatabdi Express scheduled to leave the city at 7 am was detained by the railway authorities at the station here itself.
The super fast train was later sent to the national capital via Dhuri, railway sources said.
Demanding justice to the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots and action against the guilty, Sikh groups have been holding protests in Punjab recently.
