With just a week left for the G20 Summit in New Delhi, Northern Railways on 2 September announced that a total of 207 train services will be canceled and 36 train services will be short terminated or short originated on 9, 10, and 11 September.
These route suggestions are for commuting from/to the airport, railway stations, or bus terminals.
According to a traffic plan released by the Delhi Police, entry will be restricted exclusively to residents and essential service workers who can verify their identities.
Apart from this, the statement added that 70 trains, including Jammu Tawi-New Delhi Rajdhani, Tejas Rajdhani Hazrat Nizamuddin, Varanasi-New Delhi Tejas Rajdhani among others, have been given additional stoppage stations to minimize passenger discomfort, while origin and termination stations of 36 trains have also been changed and three trains will not stop at Delhi’s Kishan Ganj during the summit.
“People who have planned their travel during these days are advised to check the train timings and routes to avoid any inconvenience,” a railway official said.
Anticipated and verified participants for G20 include Joe Biden, the President of the United States; Xi Jinping, the Premier of China; Emmanuel Macron, the President of France; and Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada.
