Chaos Erupts at Madhubani Station as Devotees Vandalize Train to Maha Kumbh

On Monday evening, chaos erupted at Bihar's Madhubani railway station when devotees en route to the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj were unable to board the overcrowded Swatantrata Senani Express. Frustrated passengers resorted to pelting stones and breaking windows of the train's air-conditioned coaches after being denied entry. The situation escalated as similar incidents occurred between Madhubani and Darbhanga stations, with windows of multiple coaches being shattered. Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel intervened, detaining two individuals involved in the vandalism. Authorities are investigating the incident and have implemented measures to manage the surge of pilgrims during the Maha Kumbh.
