Seven trains passing through Bihar cancelled

KOLKATA: The Eastern Railway authorities cancelled on Thursday seven trains whose routes pass through Bihar, in view of the student agitation there.

The trains cancelled were the Bhagalpur-New Delhi Vikramshila Express, the Bhagalpur-Muzaffarpur Jansewa Express, the Sealdah- Balia Express, the Howrah-Patna Janshatabdi Express, the Howrah-Hardwar Puja Special, the Howrah-Raxaul Mithila Express and the Sealdah-Jaynagar Gangasagar Express, an ER press release said. The Sealdah-Udaipur Ananya Express was diverted via Pradhankhunta.
