Indian Railways' Coach Disappears: Passengers Stranded on Nagavali Superfast Express

• Dozens of passengers with confirmed 3AC tickets on the Sambalpur-Nanded Nagavali Superfast Express (Train No. 20809) found their coach, BE-2, missing upon arrival at Sambalpur station.
• The absence of the coach led to significant chaos, with passengers arguing with the ticket examiner and scrambling to find space in other compartments with their luggage.
• East Coast Railway attributed the incident to a technical fault in attaching the coach, causing the train to depart Sambalpur without BE-2.
• The issue was resolved at Visakhapatnam Junction, where a new AC coach was added, and passengers were finally assigned their berths.
• Passengers expressed distress over the lack of prior information and called it a significant example of railway negligence and systemic failure.
