KANPUR: Alleging absence of provisions for food and water, scores of migrant workers, headed towards Bihar from Bengaluru in a Sharmik Special train, protested and resorted to property damage and stone pelting at Unnao railway station on Saturday.
The passengers also alleged that the train was unduly stopped at various places during the journey.
According to Unnao railway staff, the agitated migrant workers got down at Unnao railway station and damaged window panes of the office of the station master, benches and water taps.
They also indulged in stone pelting. The GRP and RPF officials were nowhere to be seen. The railway staff ran for cover to save themselves.
Unnao SP Vikrant Veer said, “Hunger and thirst led to the passengers’ frustration and they got violent. They were finally pacified, and after a while, the train left for the onward journey.”
