New Delhi: Ahead of today's judgement of a special court in a sexual exploitation case against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the railways has cancelled 29 trains bound for Punjab and Haryana for four days, beginning Thursday.
According to a Northern Railway spokesperson, 22 trains to Punjab and 7 to Haryana have been cancelled. The trains would have made 74 trips over the next four days.
"We had received a request from the Haryana government to cancel trains in the state in view of apprehensions on the law and order front," he said.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh said earlier in Chandigarh that he will appear in person before the court and appealed to his followers to maintain peace.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has, however, denied the charges.
