Mediapersons were put to risk while covering an agitation organised by the Youth Congress against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government.
The protesters resorted to a rail roko at the Puducherry railway station to protest against the killing of five farmers in Madhya Pradesh.
The protest came to an end even as the Puducherry-Tirupati Express slowly made its way into the station.
However, ignoring the warning by the police, the organisers went ahead with their decision to hold a press meet close to the track.
Fortunately, nothing untoward happened as mediapersons were doubly cautious.
