hours of local train delays. “I boarded the Midnapore Local that was supposed to take only 45 minutes to reach Uluberia. Even on normal days, the train is delayed. But yesterday, the delay

almost reached an unbearable point. Following delays, the train reached at 12.30 a.m,” rued a daily passenger of the route. Advertisement According to the SER officials, the problem is being

addressed on a war footing and anticipated to be over soon. Advertisement Advertisement
