Rayagada: The agitating villagers continued their rail roko for the fourth day today demanding halt for trains and construction of a station at Baharduluki in Rayagada district resulting in disruption of railway traffic between Rayagada and Koraput.

The agitators have felled trees across the route between Rayagada and Koraput for last four days throwing the railway traffic out of gear. Several trains have either been cancelled or short terminated due to the agitation.

Most of the trains are being short terminated from Rayagada and Titilagarh leading to the inconvenience of the passengers, railway authorities said.

Though district officials had visited the spot and hold discussions with the agitators, nothing tangible has been achieved so far to resume traffic on this track.
