Kolkata, January 21:: Train services in two sections of Eastern Railway were on Monday affected as irate supporters of Sourav Ganguly put up a blockade at Barasat in North 24 Parganas protesting against the cricketer's exclusion from the Indian team for the triangular tournament in Australia.

The protestors, comprising mainly young men, started the blockade at 10.05 am, raising slogans demanding that Ganguly be reinducted into the team, according to an Eastern Railway spokesman.

"We want Dada back. It's a conspiracy," the protestors shouted.

As a result, train services between Barasat-Bongaon and Barasat-Hasnabad sections were affected.

The Indian selectors had yesterday dropped Ganguly and also left out two other senior pros, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, while announcing the squad for the tri-series which will also feature Australia and Sri Lanka.

The first two words you have started your writing with shows the background you belong to. You have every right to criticize or praise Ganguly but do not bring regionalism into your writing. One word of advice. please improve the standard of your language.

Exactly the time when you think, the indian team is united and working as a cohesive force to dismantle the so-called australian supremacy, this hapens. I do not know why BCCI does this from time to time. We need politicians out of this and have some sensible people calling the shots. This does no good to Indian cause
