At least 42 long-distance trains were cancelled or diverted on Thursday owing to damage to railway properties during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Northeast Frontier Railway said apart from these, the Dibrugarh–Jhajha Express was diverted via Moranhat and Simaluguri. However, with the improvement in law and order and introduction of manual train operations in the affected areas in Bengal, NFR has restored a few long-distance trains in addition to goods trains, it added.
