On Saturday, a senior official of the South Central Railway announced that train services at Secunderabad railway station in Hyderabad had resumed.

Trains departing from the station were halted or partially halted, however they resumed later in the evening.

Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader, took a shot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that just as he had to remove the farm legislation, he will have to accept the youth’s demand and scrap the Agnipath defence recruitment scheme.

“I had indicated earlier also that the prime minister will have to repeal the black farm laws,” Rahul Gandhi said in a Hindi tweet.

Similarly, he will have to accept the demand of the country’s youth by becoming a “maafiveer” and take back the ‘Agnipath’ scheme,” he said
