PATNA: With a view to providing relief to the panic-stricken, northeast-bound railway passengers, the Bihar Chamber of Commerce (BCC) on Sunday again distributed 1,500 food packets among passengers coming from Mumbai by Lokmanya Tilak-Guwahati Express at Patna Junction.

BCC president O P Sah said this was aimed to provide relief to the people of northeast who have been forced to leave for their respective state in haste because of rumours. He said the BCC's act was an expression of solidarity with the hapless passengers and fulfilment of a human duty.

Sah said each food packet contained puris, sabzi, pickle and sweets. Pouches containing drinking water were also distributed among the passengers of the said train, he said and added that BCC tried to boost the morale of passengers by printing the slogan 'Hum Sab Ek Hain' on the cover of food packets.
