Punjab Bandh Today: Over 150 Trains Cancelled as Farmers Protest at Shambhu & Khanauri Border Points

On Monday, the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) called for a Punjab bandh, resulting in the cancellation of over 150 trains by Indian Railways. The ongoing protest, which started on February 13, has led to farmers blocking rail tracks at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana. With key trains like the Vande Bharat Express and Shatabdi Express affected, this bandh is putting pressure on the government to address farmers' demands.
