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.
