Violent Scene Unfolds at Railway Station
The incident, captured on mobile cameras by bystanders, shows multiple IRCTC staff members engaged in a physical fight that escalated rapidly. What began as an argument soon turned into a full-blown brawl with employees using whatever objects were within reach.
Eyewitness accounts describe a chaotic scene where railway staff were seen:

Immediate Response from Railway Authorities
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) swiftly intervened to control the situation and has initiated disciplinary action against the involved staff members. The prompt response prevented the situation from escalating further and ensured passenger safety wasn't compromised.
"Such behavior is completely unacceptable from railway staff who are expected to maintain decorum and ensure passenger safety," stated a senior railway official familiar with the incident.
