Guwahati: A special train from Guwahati to Bangalore will run from Sep 1 to help people from the NE return to their places of study or work in the southern states after their mass exodus over fear of attacks.
The train, with 14 sleeper class coaches, will leave Guwahati railway station at 1.15 p.m. Saturday, said a Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) official Wednesday.
The train service is being started after the Assam government asked the railways to help thousands of students and workers who had arrived home from Bangalore, Hyderabad and other southern cities following rumours of a backlash over the ethnic clashes in Assam. (IANS)
