But the first private train of the country, Lucknow-New Delhi and Ahmedabad-Mumbai Tejas, which came back on track a month ago, is facing a shortage of passengers. In such a situation, the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a public sector undertaking of the Ministry of Railways, has canceled both trains' operation. IRCTC said in a statement on Tuesday that the management has decided to cancel the operations of all Tejas trains due to a shortage of passengers. IRCTC has canceled the Lucknow-New Delhi (82501/82502) Tejas Express from November 23 while the Ahmedabad-Mumbai (82901/82902) Tejas Express from November 24. IRCTC resumed two Tejas trains between Lucknow-New Delhi and Ahmedabad-Mumbai from October 17 because of festivals.
