Bihar: Many organizations have called a Bharat Bandh on Monday in protest against the Agneepath scheme. As a precautionary measure in Bihar, internet service in 20 districts will remain closed on Monday and 350 trains will also be cancelled. On Sunday also 362 trains were canceled. Due to this, the passengers are facing a lot of trouble. The effect of Bharat Bandh can be seen in Bihar too. For the last 5 days, normal life has been disturbed due to violent demonstrations in many areas of the state.

Internet was banned in 15 districts earlier in the state to check the spread of rumours. Now 5 more districts have been added to these. Internet will be banned in Kaimur, Bhojpur, Aurangabad, Rohtas, Buxar, Nawada, West Champaran, Samastipur, Lakhisarai, Begusarai, Vaishali, Saran, Muzaffarpur, Motihari, Darbhanga, Gaya, Madhubani, Jehanabad, Khagaria and Sheikhpura districts on Monday.

Let us inform that in Bihar, the railways have suffered heavy losses due to riots, picketing demonstrations and arson in protest against the Agneepath scheme of the central government. Because of this, East Central Railway is currently operating trains in Bihar only between 8 pm and 4 am. During this, a large number of RPF, RPSF and GRP personnel have been deployed in trains. Some long distance special trains are also being run at night for the convenience of the stranded passengers at different stations.
