The Central Railway officials dismissed the incident in one line after it was rectified saying that there was a signal failure and was put right at 3:16 pm.
"There was no way for commuters to know what was wrong. We waited for quite some time before jumping on tracks. In this age of communication, the railways still do not have a way to communicate real-time updates inside the train," a commuter Mohanan Raji said.
The railways social media accounts are only being used to promote the government and other useless things. A timely update for commuters would do wonders," another commuter Rakshit Doshi added.
