Karnataka cancels 13 Shramik trains citing lack of passengers

Despite thousands of migrants in Karnataka waiting for trains to take them home, the state government has reportedly cancelled 13 trains citing 'lack of passengers'. An activist working for the workers had this to tell a local website: "It looks like since the government has to give free train service as announced by the Chief Minister following the case in the High Court, they want to reduce the number of trains." General Manager of South Western Railways AK Singh confirmed to the website that the state government had cancelled the 13 trains that were supposed to leave on Wednesday and Thursday.
