One and a half km long line for train tickets at Udhna railway station in Surat.
Thousands of passengers going to UP-Bihar during summer holidays are facing heavy problems at Udhna railway station in Surat. The shocking thing here is that about one and a half km long line is only of ticket buyers. Apart from this, about one and a half km long lines can be seen outside the railway station.
Crowd suddenly increased after school holidays Now the leaves of schools have also started, which has increased the huge crowd of railway passengers. Apart from reserves, Western Railway is also running several unreserved special trains. Due to this, 5 to 10 thousand passengers are reaching the station to catch one train each. On Sunday morning, the line of ticket taking from the platform became longer to one and a half km.
In a conversation with Divya Bhaskar, a passenger took out his anger due to no arrangements at the railway station and said that there is no arrangement here. The police are licking sticks on the crowd. There are such long lines for the ticket that one has to stand for hours. The condition of children and the elderly is suffering due to the heat.
Crowd of passengers at the ticket counter on the platform.
Another passenger Radhikaben said- My mother is not feeling well. It is necessary to go to my village, but I am not getting tickets. I had reached the station from 6 am, but there was a long line for the ticket. When I reached the ticket counter after standing in line for hours, I was told that the ticket is no longer available. I said- my mother’s health is not good. Give me a ticket, but still those people did not give me a ticket.
Standing in the ticket line for three hours Another passenger Shyambhai said- I have to go to Allahabad in UP, because, there is a wedding at home. I have been standing in the ticket line for the last three hours, but still not clear whether the ticket will be available or not. After this, you will also have to stand in the line to reach the platform.
Due to the crowd, many of the traffers ran away and many were seen climbing in the train from the other side of the track.
Ticket was not found even two days ago: Mahendra Singh Another passenger Mahendra Singh said that he could not get the ticket. I am standing in the ticket line from three o’clock in the morning. Right now they are saying that the train is full. I came to buy tickets with my family. This problem occurs every year. Two days ago I was standing for a similar ticket, but I did not get the ticket. Even today the ticket was not found.

No management, police is beating people: Sudhirbhai At the same time, a pancore named Sudhirbhai said that this line has been engaged for tickets for the last four hours. Neither management, no facility. Right now there is only ticket line, how many lines will be there for the train, it cannot be said. If there is a crowd, the police is also getting sticks. This line of ticket is one and a half kilometers long. I have been standing for two hours myself.
Long line launched due to mob management: officials Regarding this, a Western Railway official said that crowd management is currently being done there, due to which people do not have any problem due to huge crowd on the platform. Additional trains are also run and advertisements are also given to inform people. Due to mob management, people feel that the line is long, but people are kept in line to prevent large crowds from gathering together.
