Rail blockade affects train services on West Bengal’s Sealdah-Naihati line
Train services on the Sealdah-Naihati main line of Eastern Railway were affected on Monday morning owing to a rail blockade at the Barrackpore station, inconveniencing hundreds of passengers going to work, an official said.
The agitation, demanding a foot overbridge at the northern end of the railway station in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, led to the cancellation of 12 EMU locals and the delay of 20 other suburban trains, he said.
The blockade, which started at 9.07 am, was withdrawn at 10.44 am, following which normal train services resumed.
