Railways will give “full refund” to passengers for the cancellation of trains due to the Jat quota agitation. A railway spokesperson today said there would be no deduction of “cancellation charges” and a full refund would be granted.
Passengers who had made reservations online will automatically get their refund in full while for paper tickets, the refund has to be collected from passenger reservation centres.
As the Delhi-Ambala-Chandigarh main line has been blocked for the past few days, railways will this evening run a special train from Chandigarh to Delhi “to clear the rush of stranded passengers at Chandigarh, Ambala and nearby cities”.
The train will depart at 1600 hrs and will take a longer route. It will go from Chandigarh to Anand Vihar in national capital via Saharanpur, Meerut and Ghaziabad, the spokesperson said.
