Sabarmati Express back on rails

For the first time since the deadly attack on it in Godhra two weeks back, the Sabarmati Express was on Tuesday night back on rails.

The train left Ahmedabad amid tight security and was heading for Ayodhya, but Ram sevaks heading for the March 15 programmes in the temple town did not board it.

The train passed through the violence-hit Godhra "without any trouble", railway police sources said.

"The train passed off at 1230 midnight (IST) and no passenger boarded in from Godhra," the sources said.

Godhra Collector Jayanti S Ravi said security arrangements had been made to ensure safe passage of the train.
