The ongoing reconstruction of the Ghaziabad railway station has led to significant disruptions for daily commuters, with the cancellation of 16 local trains on various dates. The move has forced thousands of passengers to switch to buses and other modes of transport, resulting in a sharp increase in travel expenses.

Impact On Daily Commuters
