The article reports on the travelers who were locked-down in the main train station in Varanasi, India because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It reveals that several travelers have been stranded for more than three weeks, confined in a waiting room and forbidden from leaving the station since March 25, 2020. Station manager Anand Mohan had a television installed in the waiting room and instructed a railway staff to hold daily yoga classes for the stranded passengers.
