Lucknow, April 26 -- Candidates described chaotic scenes at Charbagh railway station, with heavy rush both inside trains and on platforms in Lucknow where 55 examination centres have been set up for the Uttar Pradesh Home Guard recruitment examination, which began on Saturday. Several candidates claimed they were unable to reach exam centres on time due to train delays including the Begumpura Express (Train No. 12238), which was reportedly late due to a technical fault. Some passengers were even seen hanging at train doors due to lack of space. Narendra Kumar, travelling to Sultanpur, said he had no option but to board overcrowded coaches to reach home. Harsh Mishra, returning to Azamgarh after appearing for the exam, claimed there was extreme crowding both at the station and inside trains. "Our tickets were not confirmed while arriving and even now they are not. We have to travel without ticket in general coaches," he said. Pankaj Mishra, heading back to Sultanpur, said the situation was similar a day earlier as well. "There was no space in trains when we came to Lucknow, and today it's the same. We even checked buses, but couldn't find seats there either," he claimed. Meanwhile, the North Eastern Railway (NER), Lucknow division, said it had arranged special unreserved trains considering the surge in candidates. A special train (No. 05050) is being operated from Aishbagh to Gorakhpur on April 25-27, while a return service (No. 05049) is running from Gorakhpur to Aishbagh on April 26 and 27. Railway authorities have appealed to passengers to use these services. No official response has yet been issued regarding candidates who claimed they missed exams due to travel disruptions....
