Earlier this week, the railways on Monday cancelled five special trains from Kerala to Bihar after the Bihar government denied permission.
These trains were scheduled to leave from Alappuzha, Aluva, Ernakulam, Tirur and Shoranur. The trains were cancelled as the Bihar government refused to give No-Objection Certificate (NOC).
The railways had already operated 11 “Shramik Specials” from Kerala to Jharkhand, Odisha, and Bihar facilitating the return of the migrants.
