News about the hijacking of the Ranchi-bound 2,878 New Delhi-Ranchi Garib Rath Express brought several family members of the passengers travelling in the train to Ranchi station today. The anxious relatives waited eagerly for the train to arrive and breathed a sigh of relief after meeting their near and dear ones, when the train arrived in Ranchi this morning. However, the railways have categorically denied the news of hijack of the train and blamed a section of the media to blow an internal railway operational matter, out of proportion. n SNS
