The ambient sounds and visual experience of Secunderabad railway station were in perfect sync on Saturday, a day after it witnessed large-scale violence and arson by army aspirants in reaction to the Centre’s Agnipath scheme.
Although the main entrance showed buses of CRPF and RAF parked on one side and the security personnel in military fatigues assembled under a tree, it was the passenger entrances and lobbies which reassured one that the station was back to business. The enquiry counters and help desks remained busy.
Hundreds of passengers dragging luggage, sitting on their bags or just lying down, having lunch or napping on platform no. 1, offered just the right space to walk and slither through.
