The passengers received food, water, tea, and medical assistance during their trip. An additional ticket counter was opened overnight at Patna Junction to facilitate ticket booking without inconvenience. ECR officials mentioned that the number of additional coaches and other arrangements would depend on passenger needs. Rescue operations continued despite intermittent rainfall, with over 15,000 security personnel deployed across the affected regions. The death toll from the floods surpassed 650, while over 2,400 people remained unaccounted for.
