The Howrah-New Delhi Duronto Express (Train No. 12273) experienced an unexpected and tense delay on Monday when a sudden technical malfunction disabled its engine right as it pulled into Mokama station in Patna. The premium superfast train, which arrived on schedule at 3:06 pm, was forced to remain stationary on platform number three for a grueling 81 minutes as railway technical teams rushed to diagnose and rectify the fault. While passengers experienced considerable inconvenience and restlessness during the prolonged wait, railway officials swiftly mobilized alternative operational measures to ensure that overall rail traffic along the crucial up line remained unhindered.
