proper announcements. Notably, on August 1st, the Gaya-Jhajha train (03386) was delayed for an hour due to engine issues, while the Gaya-Rampurhat train (05404) was delayed for two hours. This scenario led to a chaotic situation when passengers attempted to change trains. On the same day, the Shravani Special was also delayed by two hours due to being held at Gaya station. Further adding to the woes, the practice of merging trains, especially with goods trains, has become a constant problem on the KG rail line. Passengers have to endure long delays as passenger trains are frequently held back for merging with faster express and goods trains. This often occurs even with fast passenger trains, leading to significant delays. For example, a train from Wazirganj is frequently held at Nawada station for merging with express, fast passenger, and goods trains, causing significant inconvenience to passengers. Beyond the train delays, Nawada station itself lacks basic facilities, resulting in severe discomfort for passengers. The lack of proper shelters, particularly in inclement weather, inadequate drinking water facilities, and insufficient toilet facilities create a challenging environment for passengers. The newly constructed station is deemed by many as an improvement, despite its current shortcomings.
