Padatik Express Delayed by Hours Due to Engine Failure
Imagine a train called Padatik Express going from Sealdah to New Alipurduar.
It had a problem!
The engine stopped working, so the train had to halt for a long time.
Passengers were stuck, so some took buses to get where they were going.
Railway workers fixed the engine and brought a new one to tow it.
In the end, the train arrived at the destination almost three hours behind schedule.
Officials kept everyone informed and made sure there was enough water.
The New Alipurduar-bound Padatik Express was delayed by almost three hours.
The delay was caused by a malfunctioning electric locomotive.
The train stopped at the Raninagar-Jalpaiguri station for approximately three hours.
Passengers deboarded and took buses to reach their destinations.
The train eventually reached New Alipurduar nearly three hours late.
