In Holi run-up, Railways takes safety measures
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|March 11, 2025
A slew of crowd control measures have been implemented at Delhi's four major railway stations ahead of Holi, including creation of mini control rooms and holding areas, and installation of serpentine queue dividers, officials in the Northern Railways announced on Monday.
NEW DELHI:
These measures were implemented at New Delhi, Old Delhi, Anand Vihar and Nizamuddin railway stations amid greater footfall days before the festival. This comes barely a month after the deadly February 16 stampede at the New Delhi Railway station in which 18 people were killed as passengers rushed to board Prayagraj-bound trains for the Mahakumbh.
