A railway spokesperson said four Shatabdi trains were cancelled, 35 other passenger trains were detained and the movement of 40 goods trains was affected by the protests.
Train movement was disrupted at 44 locations that fall under the Delhi, Ambala and Ferozepur divisions of the railways.
The Samkyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions, heading the protest against the three farm laws, called for the bandh from 6 am to 6 pm to mark four months of the agitation at Delhi’s three borders—Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri.
