Posted by : RailEnquiry Admin on Nov 22, 2017 - 19:49:51 PM

Close to 1500 farmers of all India Kisan Sangharsh coordination committee were left stranded when the special charter train took a wrong path and ended in a different state 175 km away from its destination. Railway authorities had no clue until the train ended up in Madhya Pradesh in place of Maharashtra. The unthinkable point to be noted is that train travel almost close to 200 km and Railway authorities never bothered.

 After organising a large protest in Delhi demanding better prices for their produce and relief from debts almost 1500 farmers boarded a special train which left Delhi on Monday night from Mathura. The train was supposed to take route towards Maharashtra but due to silly mistake done by controller at Mathura the train went to banmore railway station which is near Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh.

Farmers went on the tracks in protest of the Bizarre mistake done by railway. Within half hour the train was rescheduled towards Jhansi and now farmers are expected to reach the destination by Thursday morning.
