Instead of starting from Howrah at 8.20am, it started at 10.30am and arrived at Tatanagar at 3pm.We have been kept in the dark as far as timing of the railways are concerned. We had no alternative but to cancel our tickets at the last moment. The railway authorities simply know to postpone the timings of the trains. They should have told us about the gravity of the situation from morning itself, said Apu Adhikari, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party and a resident of Kadma who was scheduled to attend a family function in Mumbai on Wednesday.
