The labourers working in industries and the special economic zone had gathered at Jokatte near Surathkal after the news that special buses would drop them to Mangalore Central Railway station.
As per sources, a few of them who gathered there received calls from police and officials of district administration stating that the train to West Bengal was canceled.
