Farmers lift seige, Delhi-Howrah rail route normalised

Train traffic on the Delhi-Howrah route was normalised late last night after farmers, agitating over land acquisition for a power house in Karchana area, decided to end their blockade on a railway line in this Uttar Pradesh district.

After talks between farmers' leaders and the district administration last night, the farmers lifted the 13-hour seige normalising train traffic on a very busy route, Government Railway Police (GRP) sources said here this morning.

The running of about a hundred trains was affected due to the agitation.

One farmer was killed during the agitation while several long distance trains had to be diverted to other routes. Several government vehicles were torched by the agitating farmers.

The situation was brought under control only after the both the sides sat for negotiation and resolved the issue
