01:00This time, we are expecting that the pilgrims who are coming in the Triangle will go.
01:10So for this, we have started triangular services and the Ayodhya's and our three stations,
01:16here we have kept a holding area outside, where the devotees can wait for half an hour
01:22and then whatever their vehicle will be on platform number 1 or 4, we will coordinate
01:27with our RPF and commercial staff and will try to make them sit in the train.
01:34If I say, from Mauni Amavasya, which is the main bath day, and for the next two days,
01:41in three days, we will run about 48 special trains from here and Fafamau.
01:45All the devotees, because basically the Lucknow Mandal will cater for Lucknow, Jaunpur,
01:51a little bit of Banaras and Ayodhya.
01:55So these 48 trains will go in the same direction so that the devotees can reach there easily.
02:00This is our main station, which you are seeing, Prayag Junction.
02:04There are about 160 CCTVs installed on it.
02:07If I add up the other three stations, there are about 305.
02:10All their feed is coming here.
02:12The main ICC is made in Prayagraj, because the coordinating railway is North Central Railway.
02:17They will also get the full feed.
02:19The state government, the local police will also get the feed.
02:22So that they can also monitor our station.
02:24And we will also take some feed from them.
02:26So that the devotees who are coming here, if the crowd is coming suddenly,
02:29we will get a little intimation that the crowd is coming,
02:32so we can take our corrective action in advance.
02:35Keeping in mind the mahakum, the positioning of this station is very important.
02:40Because the station is near Sangam, where people go for a bath.
02:44And the eastern bound traffic, which comes from Banaras, Gorakhpur, Mahua, Bhatni, Dehwaria,
02:50and Siwan, which covers this entire area, goes through this route.
02:54So this used to be a single line, but now it has become a double line.
02:58That is, there has been a lot of expansion in line capacity.
03:01We are able to run more trains.
03:03More trains have been planned for this time, which will run during Kumbh.
03:06Apart from this, if we talk about Jhusi Railway Station,
03:09the number of platforms has been increased here.
03:11The foot-over bridge has been increased.
03:13The holding area, which has been made for the passengers,
03:16is of a permanent type.
03:19Six such passenger shelters have been built.
03:22Four on this side, which is the side of the second entry,
03:24and two on the front entry side.
03:27This will benefit the passengers a lot.
03:30Security arrangements have been made.
03:32We are installing about 122 CCTV cameras,
03:36out of which 16 cameras are such that
03:39where there is the facility of face recognition,
03:42that is, if a desired person comes here,
03:44then his identity will be identified.
03:46In addition, additional deployment of RPF has been done.
03:50So a lot of facilities have been developed.
03:52The ticketing system has been made smoother.
03:54A control room has been set up,
03:56so that communication can be proper
03:58and the public can get complete convenience.
04:00Look, a proper communication network has been planned
04:04with the state government,
04:06the people of the fair,
04:08and there will be proper coordination with the railway.
04:10And a smooth communication has been arranged
04:13through the control room.
04:15The crowd that will come here,
04:17for its management,
04:19the passenger shelter that we have built,
04:21we will bring them there.
04:23And the outgoing traffic,
04:25that is, the people who will go from here,
04:27we will cater to them on both the home platforms,
04:29so that they do not have to climb the foot-over bridge
04:32and there is no conflict of movement.
04:34These things have been taken care of.
04:36And when the passengers reach Kasra Esthal,
04:38we will set up trains for them
04:40and send them to their destinations.
04:42The trains that are being run
04:44are memo type trains
04:46or two-way engine type trains,
04:48so that there is no waste of time in train shunting.
04:50So the railway has made a lot of preparations
04:52for ticketing,
04:54all kinds of ATVs,
04:56UTS counters.
04:59You see,
05:01Vande Bharat is passing by us.
05:03Vande Bharat also runs on this route.
05:05It is a prestigious route.
05:07And its doubling has been planned.
05:09I just told you that
05:11this doubling project has been made
05:13with a cost of Rs. 2,511 crores.
05:15And due to this,
05:17the line capacity has been improved.
05:19The timing of the trains has been improved.
05:21And the biggest thing is that
05:23it has been ready before Mahakumbh.
05:25It has been ready in record time.
05:27And the benefit of this will be
05:29directly given to the people of Kumbh.
05:31In this whole area,
05:33many railway stations
05:35have been developed with amenities.
05:37Like in Jhusi,
05:39the passenger amenities have been extended
05:41in Prayagraj, Rambagh.
05:43Fafa, Mau, Prayag, Prayagraj Junction,
05:45all the stations have been developed
05:47and improved
05:49so that we can provide better facilities to the people of Kumbh.
