This is pathetic. No info at the entrance of stations about interruption, your security team I not sensitized to announce that manually during the security check either. Its a surprise when you reach the platform.

According to the most recent videos surfacing online, the process of shifting the derailed train on the track using a crane began about 2 hours back. Before attempting to do the tracking operation using a crane, the concerned authorities and engineers spent hours shifting the derailed train on the track, according to a report by Asianet Newsable.
Bengalureans had to face many difficulties for the technical snag.
