The platform number of the train changed so stampede: eyewitness
Many eyewitnesses reported that the crowd was very high on all the platforms of the station. But the situation on platform numbers 12, 13, 14 and 15 was even worse. According to eyewitnesses, the stampede has been due to the announcement of repeatedly changing the platform number on the stoppage of trains by the railway. There was no one to control the crowd. It was announced that the train coming on platform number 12 will arrive at platform number 16. So there was a crowd from both sides. After this there was a stampede. Some people have been taken to the hospital.
