Crowd-control measures rolled out at CSMT and LTT as CR braces for annual flood of passengers

- Shashank Rao

MUMBAI: In light of last year's stampede at the Bandra Terminus, and the anticipated surge of passengers at the start of the holiday season, the Central Railway is putting in place several crowd-control measures at two major railway terminuses.

The introduction of holding areas for passengers, a first for the railway, is the most significant step taken in the aftermath of the October 2024 stampede. The tragedy occurred when passengers suddenly surged forward but were unable to board the train as it pulled into the station.

Other measures to regulate passenger movement include the opening of more ticket windows, creating 'mobile ticket counters' at holding areas, and restricting the number of unreserved tickets being sold at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) at Fort, and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Kurla.
