Barasat, West Bengal: Women passengers today blocked tracks in five railway stations demanding reconverting a modified ladies special train for women only.
The rail tracks were blocked for 1-2 hours from 10 am at Madhyamgram, Duttapukur, Birati, Bamangachhi and Hridaypur railway stations on the Sealdah-Krishnagar section of Eastern Railway, Railway spokesman Rabi Mahapatra said.
Later GRP persuaded the agitators to withdraw the blockade, he said, adding, protests were still continuing in Birati railway station.
This had triggered brickbatting by two groups of passengers at Kharda railway station which left six GRP and policemen injured when they tried to intervene on August 17.
