Passengers travelling, via Indian Railways in Andhra Pradesh and other states, have been
bearing the brunt of the protests, happening in Assam, against the Citizenship (Amendment)
Act (CAA), 2019. More than twenty trains have been cancelled. Many passengers bound for Guwahati, Howrah, and other parts of Assam, were stranded at various stations including Srikakulam Road, Vizianagaram, Palasa, and Visakhapatnam due to the CAA protests. A number of the passengers have gone broke after having spent all their money. Anguish and chaos were rife at the Visakhapatnam railway station, as the officials didn’t have any definitive news on the schedule.

Apart from the South Eastern Railway officials cancelling the trains due to security reasons,
protesters had blocked the railway tracks of the Chennai-Howrah main railway line. This
affected the train services under the Waltair division.

According to officials, some trains that run between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have been cancelled as the connecting trains from various stations have also been cancelled. Public agitation as part of CAA protests, at the Howrah and the Kharagpur Railway Stations, caused the cancellation.

As on Monday, the following are the trains that were cancelled, as they were travelling via
Howrah:

  1. Sealdah-Puri Express
  2. Howrah-Chennai Coromandal Express
  3. Howrah-Yesvantpur Express
  4. Howrah-Chennai Mail
  5. Howrah-Secunderabad Falaknuma Express.

The following is the list of trains that are cancelled due to the CAA protests:

  1. Tirupati-Howrah Express
  2. Ernakulam-Howrah Express
  3. Yesvantpur-Howrah Express
  4. Chennai-Puri Express
  5. Vasco da Gama- Howrah Amaravati Express
  6. Yesvantpur-Howrah Express
  7. Chennai-Puri Special
  8. Mysore-Howrah Express
  9. Yesvantpur-Howrah Express
  10. Guwahati-Bangalore Cantonment Express
  11. Agartala-Bangalore Cantonment Express
  12. Bhagalpur-Yesvantpur Express.

A similar situation was seen in West Bengal, where the CAA protests have taken a violent turn
leaving thousands of passengers stranded at multiple railway stations in the state. A one-way special train was run from Secunderabad on Monday for the benefit of the passengers.
