Inside the station, a manager, who doesn’t want to be named, is at a book stall for a year now and is under instructions not to talk to the media. A decade ago, one of the previous managers had been shot at during the attack, he says. The story has made its way to him, passed down by subsequent managers. He points at two gunshot entries on a wall inside the kiosk and says he isn’t afraid of working at CST, in spite of it being a possible target for terror attacks again. “I have worked in Jammu and Kashmir, in some Naxal areas. In comparison, this is nothing," he says. Even obvious symbols of terror such as bullet holes in the wall are not enough to deter those who must earn for their daily survival.
