Rail Roko called by some farmers' orgs had minimal impact on train operations

The nation-wide Rail Roko called by some farmers' organisations yesterday had minimal or negligible impact on train operations.  Total,  30 mail trains were affected out of total 12800 trains run by Indian Railways including goods and passenger trains. Several other trains were able to make up time, some of the long distance trains which were yet to reach destination were expected to make up time further.<br />''<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;"> Suburban services in Mumbai  were not affected by the Rail Roko Agitation. Freight trains and freight revenue were also not affected. The Rail Roko agitation passed off without any untoward incident. Train Movement in all the zones was smooth after the agitation. Majority of the zones did not report a single case of any stoppage of train by the agitators.  While dealing with the Rail Roko agitation, utmost patience was exercised by all concerned. In West Bengal, the Rail Roko agitation was not done primarily by the farmers but called by a political party to highlight the local incident of custodial death of a DYFI student in Kolkata. </span>
