#Thread : On the suburban train to #Chengalpattu , a group of students boarded the train at Tambaram. They were unruly. They deboarded the train at every stop and boarded again once the train began to move.

At Guduvanchery, I believe, one of the students could not board the train again. He was literally hanging, clutching onto the window pane. After much difficulty, the students and other train passengers pulled the guy to safety. The terrified student came and sat on a seat.

Others came and dragged him to the gate. Advice from the train passengers not to stand near the door and avoid travelling on foot board was ignored. I couldn't see fear in the eyes of any of the students except the one who got stuck. They behaved as if nothing happened.

This is a common sight in suburban trains. Just a week ago, Tiruvallur SP @VarunKumarIPSTN had counselled two students who were caught doing stunts on a moving train. @tnpoliceoffl and @GMSRailway should sit across the table and find a lasting solution.

Schools, colleges, and polytechnics should also pitch in to create awareness among students against such practices. This is dangerous and needs a solution.
