The Prayagraj Railway Division has introduced special arrangements for the anticipated influx of pilgrims for Mauni Amavasya on January 29, ensuring smooth commuter experiences. Measures include designated entry and exit points, color-coded shelters, and special trains to manage the large number of passengers.

With Mauni Amavasya falling on January 29, the Prayagraj Railway Division is gearing up for an influx of pilgrims at the Sangam area. Officials announced on Monday that special arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth experience for commuters at all railway stations in the city.

The division has introduced a special plan and specific restrictions to maintain safety and order. Starting from Tuesday, until two days post-ritual, entry to Prayagraj Junction will be from the city side, while exit will be via the Civil Lines side at platform No. 6. This plan includes dedicated access for passengers with pre-booked tickets.

To accommodate the influx, a holding area at Khusro Bagh will house up to 100,000 people. The arrangement also includes color-coded shelters for unreserved passengers, equipped with ticket counters and ATMs, ensuring a streamlined process. Special trains will be operational to facilitate the movement.
