5 Empty Trains Set On Fire In Bengal Amid Protests Over Citizenship Act | Read

Five empty trains were set on fire at the Lalgola railway station in West Bengal's Murshidabad district this evening as protesters continued to block road and disrupt rail services in different parts of the state over the amended Citizenship Act, which has seen violent protests in the Northeast, particularly Assam where two people were killed in police firing after thousands descended on the streets in defiance of a curfew. Situation in the Northeastern states, however, largely remained peaceful with restrictions imposed in sensitive areas being briefly relaxed.
