Prayagraj special trains will go from platform number 16 only
Northern Railway said that a day after the tragic incident of stampede at New Delhi railway station, Northern Railway implemented several measures to avoid any such untoward incident in the coming days. It has been decided that all special trains going towards Prayagraj will run from platform number 16. Therefore, all the passengers wishing to go to Prayagraj will come from Ajmeri Gate of New Delhi railway station and go. The operation of regular trains from all platforms will continue as it is. This is a step towards protecting the rush of peak hours from accumulating on a platform.
Crowd still at railway station
Let us know that a day after 18 people lost their lives in the stampede at New Delhi railway station, there was a crowd at the station on Sunday. Thousands of passengers had to struggle to board various trains amid huge crowds. Despite additional measures, passengers continue to arrive, most of which are Mahakumbh pilgrims to Prayagraj. The excessive congestion has made it difficult for the authorities to handle the situation. The stampede took place around 10 pm on Saturday night. Nevertheless, even after several hours, the crowd looks more or less like the east. Thousands of people are still struggling to stand on the platform and foot-over bridge.
