Chaos at railway station as crowd spirals out of control; police resort to lathi charge, see pics

A major railway station in Uttar Pradesh descended into chaos on Monday afternoon as the crowd swelled beyond control, turning the situation tense. A massive surge of passengers flooded the station during the afternoon, overwhelming the railway’s operations completely. The crowd was so dense that the station gates, platforms, and even train doors were packed with people. To bring the situation under control, police had to resort to a lathi charge.

According to local police officials, the station witnessed an unusually high number of passengers at the time of train arrivals and departures. It appeared that people were shoving each other to board trains and reach their seats. Despite deploying police personnel, the situation worsened, forcing officers to resort to a lathi charge. Several people were injured in the incident, though the police have not yet confirmed any official figures.
