Yo, there was this rumor about smoke in the AC system in B-5. The passengers freaked out and rushed to B-4 in our compartment. The ticket collector and some staff showed up and after a while, they announced that it was just some small issue and everyone could go back. The passengers said they smelled something bad and saw smoke, even the smoke detector alarm went off, but nobody really knew what was going on. 😃

EDIT: Apparently, a rat got into the main electrical panel near the main door, which set off the smoke detector alarm.
Technology saved the day, man... the precautionary evacuation caused by the smoke detector alarm was a smart move by the passengers.
And the attendant was ready with a fire extinguisher, thank goodness.

AC system B-5 mein dhuan ke baare mein kuch afwah thi, aur hamare compartment ke yatri B-4 mein bhage. TTE aur kuch staff aaye aur kuch der baad bataya gaya ki yeh koi chhoti si samasya hai aur yatri laut gaye. Yatriyon ne kaha ki unhe kuch gadbad ki badbu aur dhuan dikhaai diya tha aur dhuan ke detector ka alarm bhi baja. Lekin wazahat nahi hui. 😃

EDIT: Ek chuha mukhya electro panel ke paas gaya tha, jiske kaaran dhuan ke detector ka alarm baja.
Yahaan takniki madad sahayak thi... dhuan ke detector ka alarm se prathamik roop se evacuation ka aaghaaz yatriyon dwaara kiya gaya tha.
Attendant fire extinguisher ke saath tayaar tha.

2 Years of Minister of State Railways, Smt. Darshna Jardosh. Many people think that after becoming MoSR, "Surat will get new facilities, new trains, and new halts." But the reality is something else. Only 2 new trains started from Surat. The first one is 20955 Surat Mahuva SF running 5 days a week, which was approved in June 21 but inaugurated in Aug 21. The second one is 20961 Udhna Banaras Weekly SF. Now, how many halts did Surat get after her tenure? The answer is less than 10, only 6 new halts. Those are: 1. 12431 TVC Rajdhani 2. 12217 Kerala SK 3. 12907 MHSK 4. 12263 NZM Pune Duronto 5. 12297 ADI Pune Duronto 6. NZM ERS Duronto Not a single Western Railway originating Duronto train still hasn't halted at Surat. What a shame for MoSR, ji! Before becoming MoSR, her question was when Surat will become Divisional HQ, but after she forgot this question. Western Railway hasn't supported MoSR in the last 2 years. A big example was shown during the Mahuva SF inaugural. We saw that even after numerous requests and...

2 Saal Rail Mantri Rajya Mantri Smt Darshna Jardosh ji ki Bahut log sochte hain ki jab MoSR banege tab "Surat me Nayi Suvidhaayein aayegi, nayi trains aayegi, naye halt aayenge" lekin haqiqat kuchh aur hi hai. Sirf 2 nayi train Surat se shuru hui hai jisme se 20955 Surat Mahuva SF 5 din me shuru hui, jo June 21 me manzoor hui thi lekin Aug 21 me shuru ki gayi aur dusri hai 20961 Udhna Banaras Weekly SF. Ab Surat ko kitne naye halts mile hain uske dauran? Jawab hai kam se kam 10 se kam matlab 6 naye halt: 1) 12431 TVC Rajdhani 2) 12217 Kerala SK 3) 12907 MHSK 4) 12263 NZM Pune Duronto 5) 12297 ADI Pune Duronto 6) NzM ERS Duronto Surat se ab tak ek bhi Western Railway ke originating Duronto train Surat me rukti nahi hai, MoSR ji ke liye kitna sharmnak hai ye. MoSR bannne se pehle unka sawaal tha ki kab Surat Divisional HQ banega, lekin ab unhe us sawaal ka pata hi nahi hai. Western Railway ne MoSR ko last 2 saal me support nahi kiya, Mahuva SF inaugural ke dauran ye dikha ki kitni request aur O...
