September 24, 2012 09:29
For almost four hours now, three Rajdhani trains from Delhi have been stranded in different places in Jharkhand because a Bharatiya Janata Party MLA and his supporters are sitting on railway tracks and holding them hostage, reports NDTV.
They say they will not allow the trains to move till 5 pm today; the administration in the BJP ruled state has done nothing yet to evict them.
Amit Yadav, the MLA from Parkatta, says he is on a 5 am to 5 pm protest against Rajdhanis and other prestigious trains not having scheduled stops at Parsabad in his constituency.
Two of the trains stopped are West Bengal bound, one is headed to Odisha. The Howrah Rajdhani has been stalled at Sharmatand, the Sealdah Rajdhani at Parsabad, and the Bhubaneswar Rajdhani has been at the Koderma Railway station. All three trains have been stranded since 5 am today, the report said.
