I don’t know what to do now,” said Babu Mondal, who works as a daily labourer in Kochi, Kerala, standing outside the enquiry counter at Howrah railway station.

A passenger, Abhijit Sahu, was seen running from one counter to another looking for options to reach Jaleshwar as his father is unwell. He had booked a ticket on Howrah JER MEMU PASS Special 08061 HWH JER Memu Pass Special train.

“I had no idea that this train had been cancelled. My family in Odisha are waiting for me. I don’t know what options I have. I will wait at the station to see how I can reach there,” he said.

Meanwhile, frequent announcements were made at the Howrah station about cancellation of trains, even as passengers continued to turn up at the station.
