New Delhi: In a bizarre incident, the Indian Railways was left red faced on Saturday when a Shramik Special train which started its journey from Mumbai for UP’s Gorakhpur on May 21 reached Odisha`s Rourkela without intimating the passengers about the change in the route.
As soon as the passengers on board realised this, they tweeted the videos and then the plight came to the fore.
A senior railway ministry official in Delhi however said, “We have decided to run few of the shramik trains on diverted routes. Some trains are diverted for Bihar via Rourkela yesterday to clear congestion,” the official said.
Meanwhile, Western Railway Spokesperson Ravindra Bhakar in a statement said, “It is to inform that Vasai Road-Gorakhpur Shramik Special train which departed on May 21 was to run on Kalyan-Jalgoan-Bhusaval-Khandwa-Itarsi-Jabalpur-Manikpur route but this train will go to Gorakhpur by diverted route via Bilaspur (SECR), Jharsuguda, Rourkela, Adra, Asansol (ER) due to heavy traffic congestion on existing routes.”
