He wrote that a prolonged suspension of the local train services in West Bengal, especially the suburban trains that link the districts to Kolkata, since the lockdown in March has caused enormous hardships to people who need to commute on a daily basis for their livelihood. "They are now dependant on overcrowded buses, many of which charge exorbitant fares," Dasgupta wrote.
He added since the suburban train services in Mumbai are likely to be fully restored by October 15, services in and around Kolkata should also be made operational before Durga Puja this month.

"I earnestly request you to please take steps so that the suburban train services in West Bengal can be fully restored as soon as possible. Of course, all necessary health precautions, including mandatory wearing of masks and social distancing should be put in force. I hope you will meet this pressing demand from the people of West Bengal," he wrote.
On Monday, the Western Railways resumed the daily services of two local trains on Maharashtra's Pune-Lonavala route for the essential services providers.
