Kolkata: Rowers forced to rejig national event journey after train cancellation

KOLKATA: The 28-member team of Bengal rowers who were scheduled to leave Kolkata to attend a national event at Srinagar in Kashmir from next week, were held back in the city after their train - Jammu Tawi Express - was cancelled on Saturday owing to the students' stir targeting trains and rail platforms at multiple places en route. The team is now booking flight tickets to reach Srinagar on Monday and attend the event.

At least 25 other trains to and from Howrah and Sealdah were also cancelled on Saturday causing more inconvenience to passengers for the third day in a row as sporadic protests cropped up in multiple parts of the country.
