In a bid to cater to the seasonal rush, the Eastern Railway has decided to run long distance special trains and local EMUs for the ongoing Shravani Mela. The Shravani Mela special train is to be operated during the months of July and August on various dates till 10 August.
Around 15 local EMUs had to be cancelled following obstruction by a crowd of passengers. The agitating crowd protested at Uttar Radhanagar Halt from 6.26 a.m. to 9.16 a.m. and at a level crossing gate near Hotar from 8.40 a.m. to 9.17 a.m. Banana leaves were also thrown on overhead wire near Dhamua station and at Magrahat station.
Apart from special local EMUs, the Eastern Railway has now decided to provide additional stoppage of mail/express trains at Sultanganj station
