A mob of more than 500 people attacked the Indian Railways’ showcase Rajdhani
Express train on Tuesday morning, pelting it with stones and bricks as it
crossed the state border from West Bengal, forcing it to reverse course.
Protesters among the Muslim minority staged a protest Monday that blocked
the same train for five hours.
The violence has severely disrupted all regional train services, with about 30
trains delayed or cancelled, affecting some 15,000 passengers, railways
spokesman S. Hajong said.
The protesters have also called a general strike to demand authorities restore
order.
