Congress leaders and workers on Wednesday staged ‘rail roko’ protests at various railway stations in Chhattisgarh, claiming a number of passenger trains passing through the state have been cancelled over the last few months.
However, a spokesperson of the South East Central Railway (SECR) said less than one per cent of the average passenger trains running daily have been cancelled in the last few months due to rail development works.
The demonstration on Wednesday disrupted rail traffic at many places, including in Durg, Bilaspur and Kanker districts, where Congress workers sat on railway tracks raising slogans against the BJP-led Centre.
