Thousands of migrant workers caused heavy crowding at Udhna railway station in Surat, Gujarat, on Sunday morning, prompting security personnel to resort to lathi-charge. Western Railway denied reports of a stampede, stating that over 23,000 passengers were facilitated to travel from the station in a day. The rush coincided with the start of summer vacations and an industrial slowdown in the textile and diamond sectors.
