The agitated passengers had heated exchanges with the railway officials decrying them for the missing coach and flayed them for not attaching adequate coaches depending on the passenger rush. Even as the commotion was on and when the train started moving as scheduled, the agitated passengers got into the train and pulled the chain.

After the railway authorities arranged to attach a coach , the train left around 8.10 a.m. with passengers having reserved tickets.
