Indian Railways has cancelled several Mail and Express services while rescheduling premium trains, including the Mumbai Central–New Delhi Rajdhani, in anticipation of severe traffic congestion around major capital terminals like New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin during planned political demonstrations at Jantar Mantar. Although the immediate schedule modifications primarily target passenger movement, supply chain experts emphasize that severe congestion around major urban rail hubs creates significant spillover risks for freight logistics. Bottlenecks along arterial feeder roads delay last-mile drainage, disrupt intermodal cargo transfers, and complicate rail network coordination across the National Capital Region. The operational friction highlights the critical need for real-time traffic monitoring, flexible multi-hub routing strategies, and robust contingency planning to insulate inland container movements and express parcel flows from urban civil disruptions.
