The passengers of the train had the windows closed, and Dastagir didn’t want the passengers to be harmed in any way. With passengers’ safety in mind, Dastagir broke protocol and ordered the station staff to clear the way for an early departure. And he assumed all responsibilities of breaking this protocol.
Meanwhile, the crowd at the station was growing. The incident occurred during the night when most people were asleep at home. Some individuals, facing difficulty breathing, took refuge in their cars and tried to leave the city.
But on the other hand, those without vehicles gathered at the station, unsure of what to do. More and more people kept coming to Bhopal Junction. People were coughing, crying, and vomiting all around the station.
