Tripura facing fuel crisis as goods train services not yet restored: Official

Tripura is facing a fuel crisis as goods train services to the northeastern State have not yet been restored, an official of the Food and Civil Supplies department said on May 11.

The service to the State stopped on April 26 after derailment of a goods train in Assam's Jatinga area but the passenger train service remains unaffected.

"The fuel crisis remains as it was earlier. The petrol crisis is severe as goods trains are not coming to the state since April 26. We don't know when the track will be ready for resumption of goods train service fully," Director of Food and Civil Supplies department, Nirmal Adhikari said.
