Jaipur, March 7: A massive swarm of bees triggered a state of panic at the Marwar Mundwa railway station in Nagaur district on Friday, March 6, 2026, after a large beehive fell from a station structure. The incident resulted in a coordinated attack on passengers waiting on the platform, leaving several people injured and one woman in critical condition. Railway operations were briefly paralysed as passengers scrambled for cover, with some jumping onto tracks or locking themselves in station rooms to escape the swarm.

The chaos began during a busy afternoon period when the beehive, located on the ceiling of the station platform, was disturbed and fell to the ground. Within minutes, thousands of bees swarmed the area, targeting anyone in the vicinity. Local authorities and a medical team were dispatched to the site, but the intensity of the swarm initially hampered rescue efforts. Emergency responders eventually had to utilise PPE kits and specialised smoke equipment to reach the stranded and injured passengers. Cricket Umpire Dies Following Tragic Bee Attack in Kanpur During Local Match.

Rescue teams arrived to find dozens of passengers trapped in various parts of the station. One woman, who was unable to flee quickly enough, sustained hundreds of bee stings and was rushed to a nearby hospital in Nagaur. Doctors have described her condition as serious but stable.

Several other passengers and station staff members were treated for minor stings on-site. To ensure the safety of the public, the local administration cordoned off the platform for nearly three hours while professional bee-removal experts worked to clear the remaining swarm. Bee Attack in Meerut: 74-Year-Old Man Dies After Swarm of Bees Stings Him at CCSU Campus in Uttar Pradesh, Over 100 Others Injured.

Impact on Railway Services

The bee attack caused significant disruption to the train schedule. Several incoming trains were halted at outer signals or neighboring stations to prevent passengers from disembarking into the path of the swarm. Station masters issued emergency announcements over the PA system, warning travelers to keep windows closed and remain inside the train coaches.

By Friday evening, railway officials confirmed that the station had been cleared and normal services were resuming. However, the incident has raised questions regarding the maintenance of station infrastructure and the presence of large beehives in high-traffic public areas.
