Must read

Fourteen railway passengers returning from the sacred hill shrine of Tirumala had an unexpected and terrifying experience when they got trapped in a lift at Markapuram railway station for over three hours on Sunday.
What started as a routine attempt to switch platforms turned into an ordeal when the overloaded lift abruptly came to a halt mid-way, leaving the passengers stranded inside. With no technician available due to the holiday, their distress grew as they desperately called for help.
Panic set in as the passengers, weighed down by luggage and exhaustion from their pilgrimage, screamed for assistance. Railway police were alerted and immediately rushed to the spot, but without an elevator technician on hand, the situation seemed dire. Realizing that waiting any longer could worsen the passengers’ condition, the railway personnel took matters into their own hands. After multiple failed attempts to restore the lift, they resorted to breaking open the elevator door. Moments of tension finally gave way to relief as all 14 passengers were safely pulled out. The rescue operation brought immense relief to both the passengers and railway officials.
For those trapped, however, it was an experience they would never forget—a pilgrimage that ended not just in devotion but also in an unexpected test of patience and resilience.
