Farmers Disrupt Train Services

Punjab farmers who had set up rail blockades across the state to protest the centre's controversial farm laws will allow trains (both passenger and goods) to resume service from Monday night, it was announced Saturday after a meeting with Amarinder Singh

Having faced frequent disruption in rail services due to protests in Punjab, a senior Railway officer will meet farmers' unions to persuade them not to block trains in future as it causes inconvenience to passengers.

Railways today appealed to the Punjab government to prevent farmers' unions, which yesterday rejected the compensation announced for cotton growers who have suffered crop losses and threatened to intensify their stir, from disrupting train services in the state.
