00:00The Mahakumbh 2025 is a grand event in itself,
00:27in which more than 40 crores of people are planning to bathe on Sangam in Prayagraja.
00:35And in the midst of this, the Indian Railway has also prepared an extension.
00:40The nine stations in the Prayagraja area have been completely redeveloped.
00:46The main entry along with the second entry has been prepared at all the stations.
00:50For the passengers, we have made a colour-coded holding area,
00:55so that they do not have to face any difficulty in catching their train after Sangam bath.
01:02In addition to this, for the convenience of the passengers,
01:07we have arranged a war-coded, unreserved ticking system,
01:10and a ticking system of different colours for different directions.
01:15New road-over-bridges and road-under-bridges have been built in the Prayagraja area.
01:21And now there is no LC gate in the Prayagraja area.
01:25This will make the road traffic smooth and the vehicles will be able to move smoothly.
01:30Our entire focus is to provide maximum convenience to the passengers.
01:35That is why we have increased the basic amenities,
01:39such as the resting area, the holding area, and the shelter.
01:46And now the capacity of our holding area, which used to be around 20,000,
01:51has increased to 1,10,000.
01:54This means that more than 1,10,000 passengers can rest at different stations in the Prayagraja area at a time.
02:00Such arrangements have been made by the Indian Railway.
02:03With regards to the Kumbh Mela,
02:06we have increased the number of minifolds and the number of vehicles.
02:17This year, we will be running more than 13,100 vehicles in the Kumbh Mela.
02:23And we are trying to ensure that the passengers reach Sangam for a bath through the Indian Railway,
02:29and return to their homes after the Sangam bath.
02:33They can use the new railway and its facilities to complete their journey.
02:45You mentioned the railways,
02:47because there are people from different states who are connected to the railways.
02:52Can you tell us a little more about that?
02:54Yes, of course.
02:55It is possible that people from all over the country will come to Sangam.
03:00Of course, people from other countries will also come.
03:03This time, we have also prepared a special booklet,
03:06which contains information about the facilities provided by the railway in 22 Indian and English languages.
03:13In addition to this, 12 languages will be used in the announcement system.
03:18This means that we will inform the passengers in 12 different languages.
03:23For example, if a train is going to Chennai,
03:26we will inform them in Tamil and Telugu,
03:29which will make it easier for the passengers coming from that region.
03:34Similarly, if a train is going to Assam or Bengal from Prayagraj,
03:41the announcement for those trains will be made in Assamese and Bengali, as well as in Hindi and English.
03:49Go ahead.
03:51Sir, there are people from different states who are connected to the railways.
03:57Since there is a lot of crowd,
03:59can you tell us a little more about the railways to manage the crowd?
04:05More than 13,000 workers have been employed by Bharatiya Railway for appropriate arrangements.
04:11Ticketing, ticket checking and other assistance has been provided to the passengers.
04:19All vehicles will be monitored through CCTV.
04:23We have installed CCTV cameras throughout the station area.
04:27In addition to this, a face recognition system has also been installed there,
04:31so that the passengers can be identified.
04:33We are trying to keep an eye on everything.
04:36In addition to the railway workers,
04:38about 10,000 soldiers of the Rajkia Rail, Police Force and Special Military Forces will also be stationed at the stations.
04:45In addition to this, more than 1,000 volunteers will be stationed at all nine stations,
04:50who are providing their selfless service.
04:54They will guide the passengers and take them to Sangam.
04:58And after returning from Sangam...
