The locals demand to add four more local trains to the existing ones, thus increasing the frequency at every half-an-hour during the peak office hours.
In the evening, there was pandemonium in stations like Howrah, Sealdah, Bidhannagar and Burdwan where passengers were fighting for space to catch the train. At Howrah Station, a large number of commuters protested in front of the station master room demanding to push the timing of the last local train. Similar scenes were reported from Sealdah, Bidhannagar and Dasnagar railway stations.
According to sources, the department is now mulling over to bring new guidelines for hike in fare.
Both ER and SER will run over 700 train services in Sealdah & Howrah Divisions.
