Fatehpur Railway Station: Two Deputy Station Masters suspended after stampede during platform change
A sudden change in the platform for the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) Express at Fatehpur Railway Station led to a chaotic situation on Friday, May 22, 2026. Passengers were forced to cross the tracks, risking their lives, due to a lack of timely information. The railway administration has taken strict action against the officials responsible for this negligence.
Who was suspended and why
Railway authorities suspended two Deputy Station Masters, Archana and Nisha Devi, on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The action was taken because the platform change for the Mumbai-bound LTT Express was not communicated effectively. This caused a stampede-like situation as passengers rushed to reach the new platform before the train departed.
What did the railway officials say
DRM PRO Amit Singh stated that platforms are sometimes changed due to technical reasons. He mentioned that passengers are usually given enough time to use the Foot Over Bridge (FOB) to switch platforms. He assured that an investigation has been started to check if the proper protocols were followed in this specific incident.
