Bodoland agitation in Assam disrupts traffic in north Bengal, NE

Kolkata, Oct 24 (UNI) Train services in major parts of north Bengal and the northeastern states, including Assam, were badly affected today causing huge difficulties to the long distance commuters following dawn-to-dusk "Rail Roko" by the Bodoland supporters demanding separate state for them in Assam.
Nearly a dozen of long distance northeast-bound trains packed with passengers were detained in several stations inside north Bengal and the commuters were having problems of drinking water and food, official sources and eyewitnesses said.
