The Chhattisgarh government has urged the Railways to take back the order discontinuing local trains passing through the state and demanded that the services should be continued.
The Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister, Subrat Sahoo, made the demand in a letter to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Railway Board.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had already objected to the discontinuation of the passenger trains.
The Railway Board on Friday told the South East Central Railway (SECR) (Bilaspur zone) to stop operating 23 express and local trains passing through Chhattisgarh from April 24, 2022.
