Rail Roko Abhiyan: Rail Roko Did Not Show Much Effect
Rail Roko Abhiyan: Rail roko did not show much effect, but passengers were upset; Railway’s strategy worked.
The Rail Stop program of United Kisan Morcha in protest against the agricultural laws failed. In some places, peasant organizations organized demonstrations along the rail tracks.
Many trains left late, but no trains were canceled and they continued to run on the tracks. However, the big leaders spearheading the movement must have gone off the railway tracks and staged demonstrations in remote areas.
The railway strategy in Haryana saved passengers a lot of trouble. 60 trains were to pass through the state. The agitators stood on the tracks in 44 places, but could not photoshoot while standing on the engine.
According to railway planning, trains were already halted at major stations. No trains could stand in the middle, so the agitators could not get the photoshoot done by standing on the engine.
As soon as the clearance was received after four o’clock in the evening, the trains started operating. In Delhi and adjoining cities, the protesters did not damage the railway property, but in many places, they sat on the track from 12 noon to 4 pm.
Due to this, the movement of 25 trains of Northern Railway was interrupted. These include 19 trains of the Delhi Division. Many trains stood at different railway stations for hours.
Farmers organizations stopped trains at 50 places in Punjab
It also showed its effect in Punjab. Farmers’ organizations stopped trains at 50 places, causing much inconvenience to the passengers.
The farmers sat on the track from 12 to 4 pm on Thursday afternoon. DRM Rajesh Aggarwal of Ferozepur Railway Division said that no train was canceled and no one’s route was changed.
Trains were stopped at such places so that passengers did not have to face much trouble.
Around 20 thousand soldiers of RPSF deployed
IG of Railway Protection Force of Northern Railway SN Pandey said that no untoward incident occurred in all the five divisions. He said that a case has not been filed under the Railway Act yet.
The deployment of additional personnel was extensive and extensive preparations were made by the railway administration.
Railway Protection Force (RPF) and State Police (GRP) as well as about 20,000 personnel of Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF) were deployed to protect railway stations and tracks.
