This is a step towards avoiding peak hour crowds from gathering on one platform.
Railway station still crowded
Let us tell you that a day after 18 people lost their lives in a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, the station remained crowded on Sunday as well. Thousands of passengers had to struggle to board various trains amid heavy crowds. Despite additional measures, passengers continue to arrive, most of whom are Maha Kumbh pilgrims going to Prayagraj. The excessive crowd has made it difficult for the authorities to handle the situation. The stampede took place around 10 pm on Saturday night. Still, even after several hours, the crowd looks more or less the same as before. Thousands of people are still struggling to stand on platforms and foot-over bridges.
