Entry point to Patna Junction closed

PATNA: The Railways, on Saturday night, closed an entry point located between the Milk market (Doodh bazaar) and the circulating area of Patna Junction. The closed entry point was also a passage to Madni Musafirkhana from the railway circulating area-end.
According to Danapur DRM L M Jha, the railways took this step from security point of view. "There were reports that criminal elements were frequently using this entry point during night," he said, adding there was no valid permission to open the gate from the railway circulating area-end.He said people could use the main road to visit or leave the 'musafirkhana'. "If there is any valid permission for the entry point, the people concerned must show it to the railways," he said.
Meanwhile, reacting sharply to the move, a member of the Musafirkhana welfare society, Anwarul Huda, said that the narrow passage was given to the society by the railways long back, and its closure would cause difficulty to the people visiting the place during night. He said railways should reconsider its decision.
