About 1,500 students from Maharashtra, who were stuck in Delhi for their civil services examination preparations, have been struggling for a long time to return home. Even though they have set out on the journey in a train from the national capital, the experience has been a harrowing one. While social distancing norms were not followed inside the coaches, the students claimed that there was no water in the toilets. What was worse is that they were not given food till Sunday morning and a lot of them had to sleep on the floor as well.

After waiting for a long time to return home, the students finally got to know on May 11 that the railways would arrange for a train for their return, but little did they know how difficult the journey was going to be.
