Technical glitches affect train services on Sealdah-Naihati and Naihati-Bandel routes

Suburban train services were affected in the Sealdah-Naihati and Naihati-Bandel sections of the Eastern Railway on Monday morning due to technical problems in the signaling system.

Eastern Railway spokesperson Kaushik Mitra said that the technical glitches in the signaling system were noticed at Naihati in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district around 6 am and the issue was partially resolved at 8.50 am.

The train disruption on the first day of the week inconvenienced many officer-goers.

Seven long-distance trains and 20 EMU locals were also affected as a result of the technical problems, he said, adding that efforts were being made to completely restore the service.
