The farmers had earlier staged a protest at the station's main gate for two hours, demanding the presence of the DRM. Their demands were ignored, forcing them to block the railway track. The farmers and locals have been demanding a stop for the Ambala-Delhi Intercity for four years. The farmers highlighted that after stopping passenger trains due to the pandemic, the government converted them into express trains and charged four times the original fare, leaving the villagers without any affordable transport.
