Night trains were halted on the Tata-Kharagpur and Rourkela-Chakradhapur sections after the Gyneshwari train accident in May 2010.
Night train services on the Rourkela-Chakradhapur section were resumed on December 20, 2011.
The resumption of night train services has brought relief for the passengers.
"We had to face difficulties. The passengers had to wait the whole night at Tatanagar station. Now we are feeling relieved," said Santosh Kumar, a passenger.
The night train services were to resume from December 13 last year, but this was put on hold due to security reasons.
Political parties like BJP and others on many occasions had disrupted train services to demand the resumption of night services. (IANS)
