NDTV reports: Workers of the Janata Dal-United disrupted train services and blocked
roads at many places in Bihar today to enforce a shutdown to press
for a special status for the state.
JD-U supporters halted over half a dozen long-distance trains, and as a result, passengers were stranded at Patna, Gaya, Jehanabad, Bhagalpur, Nalanda and Darbhanga railway stations, the police said.
Buses, trucks and other vehicles kept off the roads.
The special status for the Seemandhra region prompted Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to call for a shutdown today.
