Скачать или смотреть Hyderabad: Travellers stranded as Anti-Agnipath Scheme protests disrupt railways

Following violent protests, the South Central Railways cancelled the scheduled running of multiple trains from the Secunderabad station, leaving many passengers stranded in the city.

On Friday morning, angry youth set fire to multiple trains, damaged railway property and demanded that the government conduct army recruitment exams as usual. The protest peaked when the police lathi-charged and the dissidents resorted to stone-pelting. The police began firing plastic bullets, and one protestor was fatally shot during the scuffle.

Outside the Secunderabad railway station, crowds of people stood around waiting for information about their train schedules. Speaking to Siasat.com, travellers expressed that they were dissatisfied with the railways for lapses in communication, leaving them all in the dark about their ticket reservations and train timings.

“My train is scheduled to leave in 10 minutes and the police are not letting us inside. There is no information about trains being rescheduled. Auto drivers are demanding upto Rs 1000-2000 to leave the station,” bemoaned a traveller, who said that he had booked tickets two months in advance.
