These protestants have also engaged in shocking displays like targeting railway stations and setting trains on fire in Bihar and Telangana.
The Indian Railways has therefore announced that as many as 200 trains will now be cancelled or partially terminate in order to ensure passenger safety. 35 trains have been cancelled and 15 have been short terminated.
