Rail Roko in Punjab disrupts 16 train services in Ferozepur Rail Division
Ferozepur, December 5, 2025: A major disruption unfolded across the Ferozepur rail network on Friday as farmer unions carried out a two-hour rail roko protest, intensifying their opposition to the draft Electricity Amendment Bill, 2025. The agitation, led by various farmer organisations including the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM), brought train movement to a standstill at multiple locations, creating widespread inconvenience for passengers.
In the Ferozepur Division, demonstrations were held at 15 different points. As a result, several trains were either cancelled or diverted to alternate routes. At certain stations, trains were forced to halt for extended durations, prompting authorities to provide passengers with essential amenities such as drinking water and refreshments. Continuous announcements were made at stations and control rooms to inform passengers about the status of affected services.
Railway officials closely monitored the movement of the impacted trains through the Passenger Information System, ensuring that all safety protocols were strictly followed during the disruption. Arrangements were made to resume normal services once the situation stabilised.
Railway authorities assured that full services would resume once the routes are cleared and urged passengers to remain attentive to official updates.
The following trains were halted at various stations due to the protest: 14720 (Amritsar–Bikaner) at Ferozepur City; 74968 (Lohian Khas–Firozepur) at Lohian Khas; 74936 (Firozepur Cantt–Jalandhar City) at Ferozepur Cantt; 74654 (Dera Baba Nanak–Amritsar) at Fatehgarh Churian; 14622 (Hemkunt Express) at Ferozepur Cantt; 54572 (Firozepur Cantt–Bhiwani) at Abohar; 74976 (Fazilka–Firozepur Cantt) at Laluwala; 64552 (Chheharta–Ludhiana) at Amritsar; 20497 (Firozepur Cantt–Harmandir Sahib Express) at Ludhiana; 74683 (Khemkaran–Bhagat Ki Kothi) between Tarn Taran and Bhagtanwala; 22485 (Firozepur Cantt–Bandra Express) at Ludhiana; 12497 (Shane Punjab Express) at Tanda; 74691 (Amritsar–Khemkaran) at Amritsar; 74671 (Amritsar–Jalandhar) at Jandiala; 74605 (Beas–Rattanpur) at Beas; and 74975 (Firozepur Cantt–Fazilka) at Ferozepur Cantt.
