As per the information, the railway has informed the headquarters and is likely to take a final decision in this regard.

Another train is also halted at Dagra railway station as the track has not been cleared by the farmers. Earlier they had given the indication to stop the passenger trains only but now they are not clearing the tracks to run the goods trains.

Farmers are now saying that they will first see the train and only on assuring that it is goods train will allow to ply and in such a situation, it is not possible to run the trains, said V.P.Singh.
