Waiting areas at 60 major railway stations to help control crowding
Hindustan Times Haryana
|March 08, 2025
The Union railways ministry has approved the creation of permanent waiting areas outside 60 major railway stations across the country to control periodic surges in passenger flow and enhance station management.
NEW DELHI:
The decision was made on Friday during a high-level meeting chaired by Union railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, according to an official statement. The meeting, held nearly a month after the tragic stampede at the New Delhi railway station on February 15 that claimed 18 lives, also approved several key measures, including the construction of wider foot over bridges (FOBs), installation of war rooms and the implementation of advanced communication tools to improve passenger safety.
