The 16 coaches comprised 4 sleeper coaches, 1 AC coach, 3 SLR (sitting cum luggage rake) and 8 VPU (luggage vans).
Daltonganj railway station superintendent Umesh Kumar said, “We had kept our railway line 6 free for our jawans and officials to board this train bag and baggage for Silchar in Assam. We had ensured no inconvenience was caused to them.”
The railway line 6 is exclusively for offloading bags of food grains, cement, and fertilisers but for the CRPF it was kept open to the CRPF till their special train left for the new destination Silchar in Assam.
Umesh Kumar declined to elaborate on it any more.
