Massive crowd at Patliputra Station causes chaos during Bihar Excise Constable Exam rush

Patliputra Railway Station in Bihar witnessed scenes of chaos after thousands of job aspirants gathered to travel for the Bihar Excise Constable recruitment examination.

The unusually large crowd led to severe congestion on platforms, delays in train movement, and difficulties for passengers and railway authorities.

According to reports, candidates from different districts arrived at the station in huge numbers, overwhelming available facilities.

The rush became so intense that railway officials were forced to temporarily halt the movement of some trains and implement crowd-control measures to prevent accidents.

Videos from the station showed packed platforms, overcrowded footbridges, and long queues of passengers struggling to board trains.

Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel and local authorities were deployed to manage the situation and ensure passenger safety.

Officials stated that the surge in passengers was linked to the large number of candidates appearing for the Bihar Excise Constable examination across various centres in the state.

While no major injuries were reported, the incident highlighted the challenges of handling large-scale recruitment-related travel.

The chaos has once again raised concerns about crowd management at railway stations during major government examinations.

Authorities are expected to review arrangements for future recruitment drives to avoid similar disruptions and ensure smoother travel for candidates.
