Pitiable condition in HWH yesterday especially post TIKIAPARA...
The lines were fully submerged.....the water draining team working overtime but yet unable to clear it up!
Took us 2.5 hours to reach HWH from SRC!
Picture 2 and 3 show the water clogging in ER CCU of HWH!

trains like Kandari, BBS Janashatabdi, Steel and PURI Shatabdi were made to short terminate originate at SRC instead of HWH due to this water submersion post Tikiapara! Passengers faced a lot of ordeal, some waddling along in almost waist deep waters....some stumbling and falling on the way too....
Quite a few like me, put our faith on the railways and hanged on our seats in our EMU only to reach HWH almost delayed by 3 hours!
Picture 1 shows a fragment of the Majestic HWH bridge as seen from platform number 14 of HWH Jn!
