Train services were affected as locals blocked the railway tracks at Mur🌠arai station in West Bengal's Birbhum district on Sunday morning, officials said. The blockade disrupted services on the Eastern Railway's Sahebganj line with several long-distance trains, including the Howrah-New Jalpaiguri Vande Bharat Express, stuck, they said.
Locals blocked the tracks around 7.30 am, demanding stoppage of express trains at the Murarai station🏅. Efforts were on to persuade the agitators to lift the blockade and resume services at the earliest, officials said.
