Morigaon district police trace 158 of those who gave the slip Fourteen of at least 300 passengers who rushed out of a railway station in central Assam two days ago have tested COVID-19 positive, according to officials.
The passengers, many of them returnees from Kerala, got off Vivek Express at Morigaon district’s Jagiroad railway station at around 10.30 a.m. on Sunday. The train had arrived from Kanniyakumari in Tamil Nadu and was bound for Dibrugarh in eastern Assam.
They triggered a scare by skipping the mandatory COVID-19 tests at the railway station and went out during a stampede. Northeast Frontier Railway officials said many more passengers got off at Jagiroad than the 133 who were supposed to according to the reservation chart.

Guwahati:
In an act of recklessness or paranoia, or both, some 400 train passengers who arrived at a railway station in Assam today forced their way out of it premises apparently to avoid being tested for COVID-19.
Mostly migrant workers, including women and children, they had travelled by the Kanyakumari-Dibrugarh Vivek Express that had set off from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and traversed Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal over five days.
