arrivals, leading to chaos and passengers scrambling to catch their trains. This frequent rescheduling, coupled with a lack of amenities amidst the scorching heat, makes traveling on the Kiul-Gaya route incredibly challenging. On Sunday, the rescheduling woes intensified with several trains experiencing significant delays. For example, the 03386 Gaya-Jhajha Passenger was delayed by 1 hour and 15 minutes, while the 05404 Gaya-Jamalpur Passenger was rescheduled by three hours. The 03356 MEMU was also delayed by over two hours due to holding it at various stations to allow for the passage of other trains. The ongoing double-tracking project between Warisligunj and Nawada, which was promised to be completed by March 23rd, remains unfinished, causing further disruptions. The lack of progress on this project has led to frequent train crossings at Warisligunj and Tilૈયા, adding to passenger woes. While passenger trains are not held up at Nawada station, freight trains are frequently allowed to cross, further impacting passenger train schedules.
