Long-distance trains often arrive late. Many passengers have to suffer due to delay in train timings. A similar incident happened with a student named Nazia Tabassum, when she was ravelling in a train to attend an exam but it was running late due to which she started fearing she would waste a year. 

But one tweet changed everything for her. The train started running so fast that the student reached the examination center 1 hour earlier. The efficiency shown by the Railways to ensure that the student's year does not go for free and her paper is not missed is being appreciated everywhere.

Nazia's brother Anwar Jamal took to Twitter and complaingt about the delay and tagged Indian Railways. He wrote,"Train is delayed by 02:27 hrs. And my sister's exam will start from 12 O'clock in Varanasi. So please help to reach. Train No. 05111 PNR. 2215697237 @RailwaySeva"

Nazia Tabassum of Ghazipur was travelling to Vallabh University Girls Inter College in Varanasi to give her DLA paper. She had her paper on Wednesday at 12 noon. She had booked a ticket from Mau for the Chapra-Varanasi City Express. The express was supposed to reach Mau at 6.25 am. But train arrived at Mau 2 hours and 53 minutes late. The train reached Mau at 9:18 p.m.

Fearing that she would miss her exam, Nazia's brother Anwar Jamal tweeted and tagged Indian Railways. Railways immediately responded to Anwar's tweet and asked for her mobile number and promised to make arrangements immediately.

After one of Anwar's tweets, the railway administration messaged directly to the control room. The Railways made sure that Nazia reached her exam centre on time and increased the speed of the train. As a result, the train, that would have reached three hours late, reached Varanasi two hours late (11 am). As soon as the sister reached the examination center, Anwar tweeted and thanked the train.
