Indian Railways offers car ride to student after his train gets cancelled in Gujarat

Railways booked a car ride for a student from Ekta Nagar railway station to Vadodara, which is over a two-hour drive, in the wake of the cancellation of his train due to heavy rains.

In an unimaginable service offered by the Indian Railways, an Aerospace engineering student from IIT Madras was given a car ride from Ekta Nagar railway station to Vadodara station, over a two-hour drive, in the wake of the cancellation of his train due to heavy rains.

Satyam Gadhvi had booked a train ticket to travel from Ekta Nagar to Vadodara, from where he would travel to his final destination - Chennai. However, due to heavy rains, some portions of the railway tracks connecting Ekta Nagar to Vadodara were washed out, which led to the cancellation of the train.

Following that, the railway officials hired a car exclusively for the student to take him to Vadodara so that he could catch the train.

“The train that I booked was supposed to depart from Ekta Nagar but as the tracks were washed out because of the rains, the train was cancelled at the last moment. But because of the very supportive staff of Ekta Nagar, they hired a car for me. This shows how much importance they are giving to each and every passenger of railways,” Gadhvi said.
