Interior Ministry halts train trips coming from Upper Egypt and Delta

Interior Ministry decided on Wednesday to halt Delta train trips. All passengers were ordered to get out of trains at Banha stop.

Cairo traffic department banned Cairo-bound trains and vehicles coming from Qalyoubeya, within plan to prevent supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsy from reaching al-Nahda square in Giza.

Security sources said procedures target public interests to achieve stability and prevent more protesters from joining forces with sit-ins.

Pro-Morsy protesters have been staging sit-ins at Rabea al-Adaweya square in Nasr City and al-Nahda Square in Giza for more than a month.

At least dozens were killed as security troops started storming the sit-ins early on Wednesday.
