On Sunday afternoon, several stranded passengers at Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal (SMVT) in Bengaluru boarded trains to their hometowns as railway operations resumed.
Following the train tragedy at Bahanaga Bazar station in Odisha, thousands of passengers found themselves stranded at SMVT station due to train cancellations caused by the ongoing rescue and restoration efforts at the accident site.
Many of the stranded passengers were migrant workers on their way home to West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Assam. They spent the night at the station with limited information about when train services would resume.
