Around a dozen passengers who missed boarding the 12453 Up Ranchi Delhi Rajdhani express train on Sunday night at the Daltonganj railway station created a chaotic, threatening and volatile scene at the platform in sheer reaction to missing their train.
Railway officials were abused and insulted. Tempers ran high. Their relatives who had come to see them off were more aggressive, said sources.
It happened because of the change in the timing of this train at Daltonganj.
It used to come at 21.45 on Sunday but this Sunday due to the changed time it arrived at 20.39 and left for its onward destination after just two minutes. These passengers said the railways kept them in the dark about this change in timing.
