As heavy rains continue to pound parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat, a heart-warming incident has come to light from Vadodara. The Indian Railways went out of its way to help a student fulfil his dreams of going to IIT Madras to study aerospace engineering.
Satyam Gadhvi was scheduled to travel from Narmada district’s Ekta Nagar to Vadodara to catch his train for Chennai. However, the rain gods played spoilsport. The train from Ekta Nagar railway station to Vadodara got cancelled as heavy rains washed away part of the tracks.
After the train got cancelled, the staff at Ekta Nagar railway station helped Gadhvi get a cab to Vadodara station. The young student reached Vadodara station on time. The railway department did not stop there. Officials at Vadodara station even helped the aspirant with his luggage.
Gadhvi spoke about the helpful attitude of the Indian Railways in a video message. The clip was shared by DMRC Vadodara.

The video won a lot of appreciation online, with several praising the railway department’s efforts to help the young student.
Others wished that the Indian Railways would help every passenger like this.
Some wrote that stories like this should be appreciated.
Recently the department also assuaged the fears of a passenger who thought that his train was being ‘hijacked’. Krushna Ch Behera, who was onboard the Karnataka Sampark Kranti Express, was concerned to see his train take a diversion between Majri Junction and Sitafal Mandi. The passenger grew anxious that his train had been ‘hijacked’ and took to Twitter to ask the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Secunderabad and the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) for help.
The railway department was swift to respond and wrote that the train was only being diverted due to some ongoing repair work. It also urged Behera to remain calm. The pots went viral and garnered a variety of reactions.
