Villagers in Vindhamganj, located on the border of Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, protested at the local railway station demanding the resumption of passenger and express trains that used to stop there before the COVID-19 pandemic. They specifically requested the reintroduction of the Singrauli-Patna Link Express, Chunar-Barwadi Passenger, and Barwadih-Triveni Link Express....

They claim that the discontinuation of these trains has caused significant inconvenience to the locals. They have already written to railway officials and elected representatives, but no action has been taken. As a result, they have threatened to launch a rail blockade on December 13th if their demands are not met. Villagers emphasized the importance of the Triveni Express, the only convenient option for medical and educational travel to Ranchi (Jharkhand) and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), for residents of numerous villages in the area. They have also sent letters to local MP Pakauri Lal Kol, MLA Ramduljare Gond, Rajya Sabha MP Ram Sakal, and BJP District President Nandlal Gupta, but they have not received any response.
