Continued from P1 verbridges, escalators, and signage. And, adequacy of public announcements to guide passenger movement effectively.
A senior railway official stated, "Ensuring passenger safety remains our top priority. The committee will assess whether any operational or security lapses occurred and recommend measures to prevent such incidents in the future."
Later on Sunday evening, the Railways said that to manage the heavy rush for Prayagraj-bound passengers, additional special trains have already been deployed. It added that on Saturday five special trains were operated from the Delhi area to ease congestion. Official records indicate that between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm nearly 2,600 additional passengers booked tickets at New Delhi Station, prompting authorities to start one special train during that period. Between 8:00 and 10 pm, another special train was dispatched, despite unreserved ticket bookings being lower than usual during that timeframe.
