Northern Railway Chhath special trains include 29 services operating from major railway stations across the Delhi region today. The services aim to help passengers travel to their native places for the festival.
The arrangements primarily cater to passengers travelling towards eastern parts of the country. Furthermore, Northern Railway has introduced additional measures to manage festive crowds at major Delhi-area stations.
Railway officials monitor passenger crowds at Delhi stations
The Delhi division has deployed senior officials to oversee passenger movement. The Divisional Railway Manager, Additional Divisional Railway Managers and senior officers are continuously monitoring crowd conditions.
Moreover, officials from the division and railway headquarters are overseeing arrangements at major stations. These measures aim to facilitate smoother passenger movement during the festive rush.
Railways sets up War Room at Rail Bhawan
The Ministry of Railways has also established a War Room at Rail Bhawan in New Delhi. The facility supports monitoring of railway stations during the ongoing festive season.
It provides live visual feeds from stations across critical locations. These include platforms, foot-over bridges and areas surrounding railway stations.
Consequently, the monitoring system allows railway officials to track crowd conditions. The arrangements are intended to support passenger management during the Chhath travel rush.
