Train services in Mumbai resume after students call off rail roko agitation
Mumbai, Mar 20 (IBNS) : Train services in Mumbai resumed after students called off their rail roko agitation demanding jobs in the railways, media reports said.
The agitation was called off after railway officials brokered peace.
Earlier in the day, scores of students agitated demanding jobs in railways blocked rail traffic, including suburban services between Matunga and Dadar stations, snapping the city's lifeline and causing difficulties to lakhs of commuters.
The agitators decided to protest against the railway recruitment system by resorting to rail roko between Matunga and Dadar railway stations on the main line during the morning rush hours.
On Tuesday, they blocked all the CR lines and both the slow and fast local train services ahead of Matunga have been shut completely.
