For five days the pas- sengers have been subsisting on tinued foods from the restaurant care, and others have lived on rice. Further food sunnlles being conveyed by boat.

The official report states that passengers in this, as well as an isolated local train, are "comfort- able and well fed." Measures to rescue the stranded passengers are being taken.

Passengers from Calcutta to Madras are now forced to travel across India to Bombay and back spain.
