Indian Railways Ensures Groom Reaches Wedding On Time

A delayed train nearly derailed a Mumbai man's wedding plans, but swift action by railway officials saved the day.

  • Chandrashekhar Wagh's wedding plans were jeopardized when the Gitanjali Express from Mumbai was delayed, threatening to miss a crucial train connection in Howrah.
  • Railway officials responded to an urgent plea on social media, delaying the Saraighat Express to allow Wagh and his party to board.
  • The groom and his 35 relatives were swiftly transported between platforms at Howrah station using battery-operated vehicles.
  • The wedding, held in Guwahati, proceeded with both Marathi and Assamese rituals, thanks to the timely intervention.
  • While many praised the railways' customer service, some questioned the fairness of delaying a train for individual passengers.
