to the station manager of Sainthia demanding the introduction of trains at various places in the district, including Sainthia. The members of the organization staged a sit-in protest at Sainthia station again on Friday as there was no positive response. They were accompanied by some locals and hawkers.

Sainthia is an important junction of Howrah-Rampurhat and Andal-Sainthia railways. Besides, it is also one of the business centers of the district. Local traders go to different places including Kolkata and Howrah to buy goods on those two railways. People from large areas of the district also catch trains in Sainthia. Thousands of people have been in dire straits since the train stopped at Lockdown. After the launch of daily local from Howrah and Sealdah, the people of the district were full of hope. But, the railways are breaking the dam of patience of the hawkers from the commuters by waiting for no announcement.

On behalf of the local voluntary organization, Pritam Das, Hridoy Bittar, Nilanjan Das said, “No train has been announced in this district so far. On November 8, we sent a letter to the General Manager of Eastern Railway and the Ministry of Railways through Sainthia Station Master demanding to run a local train. However, protests were staged on this day as there was no work.

Demonstrations were also staged on the railway line on this day. In addition to paying allowances to hawkers when trains are closed, demands were also made to stop some express trains at various stations in the district, including Sainthia. According to the protesters, if the train movement is not started immediately, it will be democratic in the coming days

The method will block all lines and lead to a larger movement. Station Master Pulak Roy said, "The higher authorities have already drawn attention to the demand. Will be returned. "
