Prayagraj, Feb 9 (UNI) With the number of visitors from across the country and abroad steadily rising in Maha Kumbh, Prayagraj Railway has decided to extend the single-direction movement plan until further notice to ensure smooth and safe rail travel.
Under this plan, entry to Prayagraj Junction will be allowed only from the city side via platform number 1, while exits will be routed through the Civil Lines side, using platforms 6 and 10.
According to Railway Division PRO Amit Singh this measure aims to prevent congestion and streamline passenger movement.
To further facilitate the travel experience, colour-coded tickets and designated shelter slots have been introduced. These shelters, categorized based on passengers’ destinations, are equipped with temporary ticket counters, toilets, and waiting areas. Additionally, reserved ticket holders will be granted entry through gate number 5.
Passengers are advised to arrive well in advance of their scheduled train departures. In collaboration with civil police, local taxi, auto and e-rickshaw drivers have been urged to adhere to the single-direction plan to prevent traffic congestion and ensure seamless transit for pilgrims.
