The Railways has also passed strict instructions to its booking clerks to note down the passport details of every passenger, including those disembarking in Attari. The passports of people traveling till Attari was not being checked and this actually resulted in a few booking clerks being suspended last night. One booking supervisor was suspended today along with one junior ticket inspector.
Though there were obvious breaches of security procedure for this train, there has been only one casualty from the security forces - that of the RPF (Railway Protection Force) commander at the Old Delhi railway station, D R Singh, who has been suspended.
Meanwhile, the train from Attari reached here on schedule this morning bringing 400 passengers, most of them from Pakistan. This same train will leave for Attari at its appointed time tomorrow albeit with a few different compartments.
