Seven trains passing through Bihar cancelled

KOLKATA: The Eastern Railway authorities cancelled on Thursday seven trains whose routes pass through Bihar, in view of the student agitation there.

“Though there has been no news of any fresh violence on this day, the railway authorities did not want to take any chances,” said an Eastern Railway official.

The trains cancelled were the Bhagalpur-New Delhi Vikramshila Express, the Bhagalpur-Muzaffarpur Jansewa Express, the Sealdah- Balia Express, the Howrah-Patna Janshatabdi Express, the Howrah-Hardwar Puja Special, the Howrah-Raxaul Mithila Express and the Sealdah-Jaynagar Gangasagar Express, an ER press release said. The Sealdah-Udaipur Ananya Express was diverted via Pradhankhunta.
