Agartala, March 27: A giant section of rail passengers landed in trouble here at Agartala rail station on Wednesday morning as the ticket counter remained closed. The depressed passengers later boarded the train without tickets for Udaipur.

The incident took place after the rail passengers, who were supposed to board the train for Udaipur had to stand in a long queue since 4 am on Thursday for tickets, but they were unable to get their ticket as the counter remained closed to increase the passenger queue in the rail station.

One of the depressed passengers told reporters that due to the negligence of the station authority, passengers who were supposed to travel to Udaipur were landed in trouble as the ticket counter remained closed. The passenger said that such negligence cannot be tolerated as these are harassment for the passengers.  

On the other hand, the DEMU train, which was supposed to depart for Udaipur at 5:25 AM reached the station at 5:30 am, following which the deprived passengers boarded the train without ticket.
