Diwali 2024: Much-hailed festivals like Diwali and Chhath are just days away, and understandably, people want to visit their homes. With that in mind, one can only imagine the chaos the bus or train stations must be witnessing these days. However, despite the festive rush, it seems like RPF personnel at Hyderabad’s Moula-Ali Railway Station managed to get the crowd in a queue, as people began to board their scheduled train. A video of the same was shared on social media, which went viral almost immediately. The date of the incident could not be confirmed.
The video began to receive major reactions from people, soon after it was shared. Most people praised the men in uniform for their efforts to manage the crowd, while the rest repeated the need to add more train coaches to sort such issues.
The Diwali video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘jsuryareddy’. The video was captioned, “This is how South Central Railway, managing the huge rush during #Diwali festival and #ChhathPuja RPF personnel manage the rush at Moula-Ali Railway station, by queuing up the passengers.” The video was shared today and pulled more than 26K views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their views. “Pune rly stn also does this for trains where the crowd for general coaches is very high,” a user said. “RPF is doing good but there are more than 200 people to board in a single bogie, railways should increase general bogies rather than introducing VANDE BHARATH for RICH people,” added another.
“Well done @RPF_INDIA and @SCRailwayIndia. I hope this will be followed throughout major stations where there is a heavy rush of passengers on boarding the train,” commented another. “Ok this is good but why is RPF onboarding more people than the seating capacity of the bogie ??” added another.
