LAHORE: The Indian railway authorities have once again cancelled the Samjhauta Express, which was scheduled to depart from Lahore on Monday.
Sources told that relevant authorities have forwarded a message that protests in India have yet not finished, therefore; the train should not be sent.
Previously, Samjhauta Express was denied entry into India from Wagah station on October 8. The Indian authorities asked Pakistan Railways to offload passengers and not to send the train as they cannot guarantee security after protests staged by farmers in Indian Punjab.
They said the protestors could turn into a violent mob and even set the train to fire. Resultantly, the train returned to Lahore after being stuck onto the station for seven hours.
