Bengal: Rail blockade withdrawn after 5 hours; 2 trains cancelled, several diverted
Greater Coochbehar People's Association (GCPA) at Jorai railway station in Alipurduar division of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) started at 6.45 am, and was withdrawn around 11.45 am, following which normal train movement was restored, he said.
The agitators said they were holding the «indefinite» rail blockade to press for their demand for the creation of 'Greater Coochbehar'.
Thousands of protesters had assembled at the station in the morning and blocked tracks, prompting the deployment of a large number of RPF, GRP and local police personnel to prevent any untoward incident, the NFR official said.
«Consequent upon the withdrawal, the track was inspected and given fit for train movement. Accordingly, normal movement of trains has been restored over that section,» he said.
The 22227/22228 New Jalpaiguri-Guwahati-New Jalpaiguri Vande Bharat Express and 15704/15703 Bongaigaon-New Jalpaiguri-Bongaigaon Express were cancelled owing to the agitation.
