Hundreds of passengers were left stranded when the Nagpur-Mumbai CSMT Summer Special Train (No. 02142) was delayed for nearly eight hours. Originally scheduled to depart at 8 PM on Sunday, the train finally left at 4:30 AM the following morning. Railway officials attributed the delay to the late arrival of the rake and a six-hour cleaning process. Many passengers expressed frustration, as the delay turned their overnight journey into a stressful daytime trip in the heat. This disruption affected various personal commitments, including hotel reservations and medical appointments, and caused missed connections for onward travel. MA Rasheed, media in-charge of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Nagpur, criticized the railway administration and suggested that special trains should have their rakes ready at least 12 hours prior to departure to prevent such incidents. He also called for accountability among officials and urged the railway authorities to create more realistic schedules for summer special trains to avoid similar issues in the future.
