Struggling to get home for the festival: Heavy crowds at all three stations in Bhopal, passengers risking their lives to catch trains.

Due to the rush of passengers heading home on Raksha Bandhan, there is no space left even at all three major railway stations in Bhopal. Long queues of passengers are seen at Bhopal, Rani Kamlapati, and Sant Hirda Ram Nagar stations. Passengers are risking their lives to board overcrowded trains. Many passengers are trying to cross the tracks from one platform to another before attempting to board a train, which poses a risk of accidents.
