MALDA, Feb. 27. — The Malda Intuc president today said Intuc activists would show “black flags” to the Union minister Mr Priya Ranjan Das Munshi, as a mark of protest against the extension of Gour Express. Addressing a Press conference, the Intuc Malda president, Mr Biswanath Guho, said that when Mr Das Munshi arrived in Malda town station he would lead trade union members and followers of Mr ABA Ghani Khan Chowdhury in protest. “Mr Das Munshi conspired to shift the train from one division to another and he issued some letters by forging a letter of Mr Khan Chowdhury and gave wrong information to the people,” Mr Guho said. “Mr Khan Chowdhury never issued a letter to Lalu Prasad, appreciating the decision to introduce a link train connecting Gour Express from Malda town station,” Mr Guho said. The Malda MP and veteran Congress leader, Mr Khan Chowdhury, had marked the day of the Railway Budget as a “black day” for Malda after the announcement of the new link train from Radhikapur in North Dinajpur to Malda town station via Barsoi in Bihar. On the other hand, Eastern Railways has issued a notice changing the train number of Gour Express and it was learnt that control over Gour Express has been shifted from Malda Division to Sealdah 1 Division. One coach of Gour Express has been cancelled out of 17 and a six-compartment train will run from Radhikapur. #
