BENGALURU: To tend to the medical needs of a five-year-old girl who was to travel by the Duronto Express (Yeshwanthpur to Howrah), the start of the train was delayed by 27 minutes at Yeshwanthpur railway station on Sunday morning.
Delaying a train for an individual is a rare occurrence and a display of laudable humanitarianism by railway officials. A top railway source said that the child Jayanab who was to travel by A1 Coach suffered breathing issues. “An oxygen cylinder was arranged for her. The train suffered a detention because of this,” he said.
