Sambalpur: Normal life has come to a standstill in Bamra town of the district today following a 12-hour bandh call by Railway Kriyanusthana Committee (RKC) demanding halt of three express trains at the station.

According to reports, vehicular movement and rail services have been severely affected in the town. Protestors stage rail blockade by sitting on the railway tracks. Protestors were seen raising slogans against the administration.

Earlier the protestors had demanded the halt of three trains-Rajendranagar-Durg-South Bihar, Rourkela Bhubaneswar Intercity and Howda-Ahmedabad Express trains at the station for the convenience of the local people.
