Passenger forced to enter through window
As soon as the festival season begins, the country’s railway system completely collapses. During the festivals of Diwali and Chhath, people take the train to go to their homes. Even though passengers have train tickets, they cannot travel. There is a long queue on the station platform. Due to the large influx of people, passengers cannot even board the trains.
Stampede at Bandra station
On the occasion of Diwali, a large number of people leave the cities to go to their villages, but currently there is not enough space on Indian railways for all people to reach their villages or homes on time in the midst of the festivals. A stampede occurred while boarding the train at Mumbai’s Bandra Terminus railway station.
10 people injured
This stampede occurred while boarding the Bandra-Gorakhpur train. In this stampede, 10 people were injured. He has been admitted to Bhabha Hospital for treatment. The condition of the 8 injured is stable. The condition of two people is said to be serious.
Long queues on the platform for several hours
There are a lot of people at many stations in Mumbai. On Sunday, the train leaving Mumbai’s Lokmanya Tilak terminal for Gorakhpur exposed the railways. The problems that passengers face during the festive season, all this was seen on the platform. For several hours there were long lines to board the general compartment. The police used light force against the passengers. Many women were seen entering through the emergency window.
There is no special planning by the Railways
Meanwhile, controlling the huge crowd gathered at the train station is also a big problem in itself. You cannot simply control. The government has not made any special planning to ensure that no untoward incident happens to people traveling in the general compartment. Railway officials and police administration also continued to watch as silent spectators.
