A nightmare scenario unfolded at Ahilyanagar station recently, when passengers were awaiting a late-night train to Mumbai. The train takes around seven hours to reach the city.

Crowds were awaiting the train’s arrival, when approximately seven minutes prior to scheduled arrival there was an announcement of a platform change. Panic ensued as this was a small time window and the crowd surge towards the bridge to cross over to the other platform where it was announced that the train would be arriving and depart in just a few minutes.
