Normal operations resume at terror scene
Print Edition
Order has been restored at Kunming Railway Station after Saturday’s deadly terrorist attack, officials said yesterday.
Train arrivals were back to normal yesterday after three trains with 3,000 passengers bound for Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, had been disrupted by Saturday’s attack.
Meanwhile, 60,000 passengers were expected to leave the station yesterday.
Part of a major road in front of the station remains under traffic control and a waiting area on a square east of the station has been cordoned off.
However, with a heavy police presence, normal operations resumed at the station and passengers could walk into and out of the building with no new restrictions.
Security screening of passengers and luggage is being carried out and staff are maintaining order in more crowded areas, officials said.
In a ticket hall, people were seen queuing to buy train tickets. Some chatted with each other while others were playing cards.
“I was a little frightened when I learned about the terrorist attack in the morning,” Liu Yujiao, a college student who was leaving for the city of Qujing in Yunnan.
“But with the heavy security presence I’m no longer worried.”
Meanwhile, the city’s education authorities said that all local middle and primary schools would be having classes as normal today, but extra security would be provided at campuses.
School officials will be on duty before and after class, while police officers will patrol campuses and the surrounding areas.
