BJP Threatens to block Goods Train
The Silchar-Lumding Railway has been a contentious issue for quite some time now and the political parties are busy utilising the issue to cash in votes. The BJP threatens to stop the movement of Goods train in this route if passenger train fails to ply.
They have performed a demonstration at various places including Silchar, Lumding, Karimganj and Badarpur on 30th June to protest for the erratic movement of passenger rail in this track, their logic though remains absurd that they will block goods train movement if passenger train fails to ply.
Their Cachar District President Sri. Udayshankar Goswami has said that is passenger train movement does not get underway as per schedule, they will not allow goods train to run in this route.
Among others present in the demonstration were former Union Cabinet Minister Sri. Kabindra Purkayastha, Vice President of District BJP Kirit Bhushan Purkayasthaand others like Kaushik Rai.
