After dropping hints that trains would run as scheduled and
warning protesters of serious action for blocking rail tracks, the
railways decided to cancel 59 express and 42 passenger trains as a
precautionary measure.
The South Central Railway (SCR) also announced partial
cancellation of 40 express trains for the three days of the rail
blockade. As many as 70 trains would be diverted, 11 re-scheduled
and five regulated, said an SCR statement.

cancelled.
MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport System) services or local trains in
the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad will be operated
between Hyderabad and Lingampally, and Secunderabad and
Lingampally.
The MMTS trains between Hyderabad and Secunderabad, and
Secunderabad and Falaknuma stand cancelled.
The cancelled express trains include major ones between Hyderabad
and key destinations like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore,
Visakhapatnam, Tirupathi and Ajmer.
The details of the cancelled, diverted and rescheduled trains can
be obtained from the website www.scr.indianrailways.gov.in, the
statement added.
