A train carrying security forces on duty for West Bengal election was stopped at New Cooch Behar Station as a result of protest by passengers against inadequate facilities in the train.
The ‘special’ train, which started from Kokrajhar on Thursday morning, reportedly, has no facility in the coaches required for travelling for more than an hour.

It was reported that there was no water and the power supply in the coaches were not working either making travelling by the train extremely difficult.
Railway staff, consequently, showed up for repairing work, soon after the protest was held.
