By somehow explaining to the passengers, he pacified them. Later some buses were deployed for Faizabad. Apart from this, city buses were deployed on the Kanpur route. Till late in the evening, the commuters continued to suffer due to the lack of buses. Passengers may have to suffer due to lack of buses on Tuesday as well.
