One person died, and several more were injured in a stampede at Surat Railway Station in Gujarat’s Surat district on Saturday.
According to sources, the stampede occurred when hundreds of passengers tried to board a Bihar-bound train outbound from Surat Railway Station ahead of the Diwali and Chhath Puja festivities.
A massive crowd of migrant workers, mostly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, were on the way to their native hometowns when in a headlong rush the crowds attempted to board the outbound trains resulting in a stampede.
