Passengers on the Vasco da Gama Nizamuddin-Goa Express were stranded at the Manmad junction due to an unexpected route diversion that led to the train arriving one-and-a-half hours early. The early departure caught unaware passengers off guard, prompting them to demand answers from the station manager. Railway authorities transferred the affected passengers to the Mumbai-Howrah Gitanjali Express to continue their journey. An inquiry into the incident has been initiated, and corrective measures to prevent future incidents are expected.
