Long distance trains resume journey in Bihar

Patna, Oct 22 (UNI) The East Central Railway authorities tonight rescheduled four express trains and the routes of six others after reviewing the overall situation at a high level meeting here tonight.

Train services across Bihar came to a grinding halt this morning after groups of agitated students resorted to vandalism and ranshaked several stations in the state to protest the MNS activists' attack on Bihari students in Maharastra on Sunday last.

Public Relations Officer(PRO) of Danapur division of East Central Railway(ECR) Ranjeet Kumar Singh told UNI following the review meeting that after considering all aspects including the safety of pasengers, the railway authorities had decided to reschedule and divert 10 trains from various stations.
