The Northeast Frontier Railway on Tuesday withdrew three stops along the route of the Haldibari-New Jalpaiguri (NJP) passenger train.
The NFR had earned passenger ire on Monday — when the train started after the lockdown — for introducing reservations and a higher fare.
On Tuesday, the NFR went a step ahead and withdrew stops from three of the 10 stations that lack the facility to sell reserved tickets. The train did not stop at Kadobari, Kashiabari and Mohitnagar.
The Congress and Trinamul are gearing up for protests. “From Wednesday, we will launch an agitation. Railway authorities have to revoke these decisions....” said Saikat Chatterjee, Jalpaiguri district youth Trinamul chief. The Congress will host events on this issue, said Pinaki Sengupta, district party chief.
