The incident took place on 9th of October left the public worried and some even reacted to the group banging the machete on the train’s coach.

“We are seeing these incidents regularly for last couple of years. The culprits should be banned for life travelling in Trains. It’s high time you introduce security & baggage scanning features like the ones at Metro” a social media user said in a tweet on seeing the action initiated by DRM whereas another user said “Wish these students get a punishment of their life. They are rouges and not students. How Presidency college has lost its fame it enjoyed 6 decades ago and where it stands now. A mere warning to those rouges is not enough as these occurrences are getting repeated often”

Check out some of the reactions below :

They should be educated and disciplined. Since they were students, why not send them for social work in accident & emergency department at railway hospitals as part of lesson and disciplinary action.

அவர்கள் காவல் நிலையத்தில் ‘ குந்தவைத்து ‘ இருப்பது போன்ற ஒரு படம் வெளியிடுங்கள். வெளியே அது தெரிய வேண்டும். அப்படியேனும் சிலர் திருந்துகிறார்களா என்று பார்ப்போம்.

Pachaiyappa college and presidency college should be sealed forever. These kind of students from these colleges are good for nothing

Remember a similar incident in the same route couple of years back. This happens in bus routes too. It should be made mandatory for college students in their first year to assist in social works. Even if not all atleast a considerable percent can be educated.

Well done to the GRP for their swift action! This is completely unacceptable! I haven’t seen such big weapons even in movies. Sad to see some section of the youth misguided. Sad for GRP, RPF they have enough tasks throughout the day & they also have to endure idiots such as these
