ER Chhath special trains from Asansol to clear huge rush
Aiming to cater to the growing demand during the festive season, the Eastern Railway has decided to run all general coach Chhath special trains from Asansol to Patna.
A day after the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) quizzed former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav in Patna, his younger son and former deputy chief minister of the state Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday reached the federal probe agency’s office in connection with the IRCTC land-for-job case.
Reportedly, Tejashwi is facing charges as an alleged beneficiary of the case with the ED claiming that some of the properties linked to the alleged scam were registered in his name.
The probe agency has also filed a chargesheet against Yadav and other family members in the Rouse Avenue Court in New Delhi and hearing in the matter is scheduled on February 9.
