Amidst the tensions between India & Pakistan, Samjhauta Express has been cancelled by India from 3rd Mar indefinitely till further notice. Pak had already suspended the train service from their end after the relations soured owing to Pulwama attack. So with no trains coming from Pak and due to the sharp decline in passenger occupancy, it made no sense to run from India side. The service might resume once the tensions de-escalate.
