Protests continued in Patna for the fourth day as angry students blocked roads in the city. Traffic on Patna’s Boring Road came to a halt while in Bettiah district vehicles and shops were attacked by protestors.
However, thousands of passengers who were stranded at various railway stations in Bihar heaved a sigh of relief on Friday as trains got back on track.
Railways started operating most trains from Patna and Danapur railway stations as reports came in that the situation was under control.
Youths who returned to Bihar on Tuesday after the MNS attack alleged that a candidate, Pawan Kumar, was killed by MNS activists in Mumbai.
Pawan Kumar, 25, a resident of Bara-Khurd village in Nalanda district was one of the hundreds of students from Bihar appearing for the exam.
On Thursday, an all party meet called by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to discuss the volatile situation decided to send a delegation to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Shivraj Patil.
Various student organisations have called for a Bihar shutdown on Saturday.
