The station director has been given special powers to deal with emergencies.
Waiting Ticket Rules: To control the crowd during Holi, only passengers with confirmed tickets will be allowed to enter the platform. This will reduce the crowd, which will prevent a stampede-like situation. It is clear that if you have a waiting ticket, you will not get entry to the station.
Let us tell you that taking lessons from the accident that happened at Delhi station during Maha Kumbh, the Railways has made special preparations. Cameras and war rooms will be installed at the station for security. Waiting areas will be created outside the station. Passengers will be allowed to go to the platform only when their train is about to arrive.
Illegal routes will be closed
A plan is also being made to close all illegal routes to increase security and make movement easier. Additional cameras will be installed at the station and surrounding areas. These cameras will keep an eye on the crowd. This will help in taking immediate action on any incident.
Now general tickets will not be available easily
According to railway officials, there is a situation of jostling and pushing for seats in the general coaches of trains departing from Bhagalpur including Vikramshila, LTT, Ang, Vananchal due to crowd, so to control the crowd, it has been decided to sell only a limited number of tickets for trains departing from Bhagalpur. This will help people to complete the long journey comfortably.
To control the crowd, the railway will control the sale of general tickets. Under this, tickets sold through both online and offline medium will be monitored.
The station director will be given partial financial powers to deal with emergency situations. All station officials will report to the station director only. In view of the possibility of crowd, two ambulances have been arranged.
