Several Twitter followers tried to help, even tagging the Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal and other accounts associated with Indian Railways.
Here are some responses
Minister @PiyushGoyal ji, Kindly have a one single social account for such safety related complaints.
A person has to tag so many handles. And pray dt one of them would respond.
Also, please take note of why Helpline numbers were not responding.
