Passengers hold up Delhi-Trivandrum train after fans fail

May 18, 2013 18:33

A train from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Thiruvanthapuram was held up by the angry passengers for nearly two hours at Vijayawada station today after all the fans in a bogey failed.

Railway sources said the passengers had complained to the Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) at Warangal about the non-functioning fans, and they were assured that the problem would be fixed at Vijayawada.

However, as nobody addressed the complaint at Vijayawada, the angry passengers pulled the chain, saying they would not allow the train to move unless the problem was solved.

The passengers only relented when authorities sent two technicians and promised that they would fix the fans during the further journey.

The train, which had arrived here at 11 am, left at about 1 pm.
