In Muzaffarpur, there was pushing and shoving as candidates held trains captive.
Students returning from Muzaffarpur after writing their ITI exams completely occupied the trains on Sunday. The push and shove to get into the coach lasted for about two hours. At this time there was a rush to catch the train. Clashes broke out between soldiers and students during the climb. As soon as the examination ended at 1.15 pm, the students who had come from many districts of Bihar to appear for the examination started gathering at the junction to return to their residence. In no time there was a situation where more than 3 thousand candidates gathered from the platform to the railway track. There was a crowd on the track to board the coach from the other side. In the afternoon Maurya Express was at Platform No-1 and Jainnagar-Danapur Express was at Platform No-2. There was a fierce jostling between the students to board the two trains. By this time the RPF team was ready. RPF Inspector Manish Kumar was monitoring. But due to the large number of students, the crowd became unruly. It can be said that the ITI exam was held in 23 centers. More than 15 thousand applicants came from other districts. Other Railway Passengers Troubled: Due to the crowd of candidates, the railway passengers faced a lot of trouble during this period. During this period, hundreds of candidates occupied the gates and coaches of many trains. In this, passengers who had to get off at Muzaffarpur were unable to get out of the gate due to crowding. Many passengers were forced to disembark on the other side of the tracks. Candidates entered in AC coach of Lalgarh-Dibrugarh train. As soon as the gate opened, there was a huge rush of candidates to get into the AC coach. A team of RPF and GRP, already deployed, took charge and brought the situation under control after instructions and warnings.
