As I arrived by Flying ranee at Surat I saw a massive crowd of people waiting for this train. When this train arrived hauled by ET WAP-4 it was already filled beyond its capacity with people sitting in the toilets as well...

from Vadodara and Ahmedabad itself leaving negligible scope for passengers from Surat.
When this train halted people made each and every attempt to get inside but only a few suceeded. Some of the compartmets doors were closed as it was already overcrowded but still people were banging on the doors requesting people inside to open the doors, the doors didn't open and the request turned out into abuses.
Somewhere a fight broke out between people entering from the door.
People were also attempting to enter from the emergency window but to no sucess and later turning out into a nasty fight in which a person started hitting the passenger who denied them to enter with belt through the emergency window.
Out of the total passengers waiting only 5% to 10% were able to board.
One question that still lies unanswered that who is more unfortunate the people who could not board the train or the one who boarded but are forced to travel in such inhuman conditions.
Its high time that government should develop Bihar and create job opportunities so that the migration is reduced otherwise it will be the same story every year. Bihar is a state with a very good potential so government must look upon this.
