Patna, (BiharTimes): A train can go missing, but
in an entirely different way.
On
Friday the deputy station superintendent of Sasaram
railway station, A K Haque, informed the officer-in-charge
of the GRP, Raghuvansh Prasad, at 10:30 in the
morning that there is no trace of 747 Up Bikramganj-Sasaram
Passenger after it left Bikramganj on its schedule
time at 8:00. The GRP personnel swung into action
and after contacting police stations between two
railway stations finally managed to trace the
train. It was about an hour later that the GRP
Bikramganj got the information that the train
was forcibily stopped by villagers at Ghusiya
village, about four kilometres from Bikramganj
police station.

The
villagers were demanding that there should be halt at
Ghusiya. The GRP, along with the local administrative
officials, rushed to the spot to convince the people to
call off their stir. The train started its journey at
11:45 am.
A
number of unauthorized halts had cropped up in this
40-kilometre long newly-laid track inaugurated by
railway minister, Lalu Yadav, with much pomp and show
last year. However, recently the railways removed all
these unauthorized halts. Since it is a diesel section
and still lack some infrastructure facilities, the
railway sources told the BiharTimes that such
communication gap can take place. But this is the
rarest of rare incident, he added.
Meanwhile,
NDA workers staged a protest demonstration
at Sasaram station on Friday to press for their demand
to extend the service of Patna-Dehri Inter-City
Express to Sasaram. This new train is going to be
inaugurated later this month.
