00:00We have been preparing for Mahakum for the last three years on the railway.
00:04In total, we have worked for Rs. 5000 crores.
00:09In this, we worked on the stations, doubled the number of lines,
00:12built a new bridge on Gangaji,
00:14increased the number of platforms in many places,
00:17built new stations,
00:18made a very good design of a standard barometer in the foot-over bridges,
00:22built new foot-over bridges,
00:24built many new holding areas.
00:26In total, all the preparations...
00:29On one hand, there are war rooms on the site,
00:32which is a big war room at Prayagraj Junction Station.
00:35I went to see it a few days ago.
00:38And similarly, a new war room has been established inside a railway board,
00:42which has been started.
00:43You can see this war room,
00:44in which the direct feed of all the stations,
00:48the direct feed of all the stations,
00:50is coming to one place here.
00:52This war room will run throughout the 24x7 Mahakum period.
00:59And as you know, 13,000 special trains are running this time,
01:04which is more than four times more than the last Mahakum.
01:09In many places, such interesting arrangements have been made.
01:14Mobile UTS, i.e. a person can take the whole ticketing device in his hand
01:20so that passengers do not have to go to the window of the ticket.
01:26Color coding has been arranged in the holding area.
01:29And in a good scientific way,
01:32the capacity of evacuation is very large.
01:34In 2019, in Pavitra Kumbh,
01:37where there was a facility to evacuate about 40 lakh people,
01:42this time there are facilities to evacuate about 1.5 crore people at a time.
01:47This means that there is a lot of capacity in itself.
01:50CCTVs have been installed.
01:52In many places, special arrangements have been made
01:57in which the state police and the railway police are working together.
02:02One more special thing has been given attention this time
02:05that a booklet has been launched in 12 languages,
02:08in which all the basic arrangements are there.
02:10And the announcements will also be in all 12 Indian languages,
02:16so that all the passengers coming from other parts of the country
02:21will also get an announcement in their own language.
02:24Look, our devotees should not have any difficulty in this
02:28and a safe and independent Mahakumbh should be ensured.
02:33The RPF is determined for this.
02:36And the RPF started preparations for this about 6 months ago.
02:40We have done a lot of planning.
02:42And the state police, state administration
02:45and the other verticals of the railway,
02:48we have done planning, rehearsals, joint planning.
02:54We have ensured all kinds of coordination with them.
02:57Because this is a big machine
03:00and every part of it should know its work and work properly,
03:04only then will we be successful.
03:06So the biggest thing is that when so many people are coming,
03:08we need manpower.
03:10So only in the Allahabad-Prayagraj division,
03:12we have gathered more than 4200 RPF workers.
03:1832 companies, Railway Police Special Force, RPSF,
03:23which is our armed police.
03:25And we have gathered about 2,000 people, 1,800 people,
03:28who are our RPF workers.
03:30And we sent them there 15 days ago
03:32so that we can familiarize them from there,
03:35so that they can be coordinated.
03:37So that they can be familiar with the GRP from the beginning.
03:40So that they know about the entire plan.
03:42So that we can give them special training there.
03:45So they have reached there.
03:47They have been provided with proper food.
03:49They have been given complete training.
03:51And they have been rehearsed.
03:53Apart from this, the biggest threat to us is
03:56that there should not be any terrorist incident there.
03:59Some foreign terrorists have challenged us
04:04that they will try to influence this.
04:07We are getting this information from the security agencies.
04:10We have organized this.
04:13And we are informing our people on the ground
04:17that what kind of challenge can come.
04:19We have given them all the equipment, explosive detectors,
04:22bomb disposal and bomb detection equipment,
04:25swan duster, etc.
04:27And we will check with the metal detector on the doors
04:30and baggage scanning machines
04:32that there should not be any unauthorized material on the railway station.
04:35So we have to keep the railway station completely sanitized.
04:39We have made special arrangements for that.
04:41Apart from this, we have also prepared our forces for disaster management.
04:45Because any kind of disaster, fire can occur,
04:49flood can come.
04:51Whatever disaster is there,
04:53if there is a problem in a bridge,
04:55there is no possibility of a stampede.
04:58We have also prepared our people for that.
05:00And along with NDRF,
05:02we have done joint training and joint planning.
05:05And for the first time,
05:07the CBRN in this Kumbh,
05:09Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Warfare,
05:12for this also we have trained our people from NDRF.
05:16So we are completely satisfied
05:18and we are completely assured
05:20that we have prepared so much
05:22that we are ready to face any challenge in this Kumbh.
05:28And if there are such plans of some people sitting abroad,
05:31then I assure you that we will not let them succeed.
05:34Look, social media is very important.
05:36First of all, we are monitoring social media.
05:38Whether it is Instagram or Twitter,
05:41which is now called X,
05:43or Facebook,
05:44so that if there is any problem of a passenger,
05:47we know about it.
05:49If there is any other challenge, we know about it.
05:51And we are also monitoring social media.
05:53If there is any rumor through social media,
05:56so that we can reach people to destroy it.
06:00We are using it extensively.
06:02And as you have seen,
06:04CCTV cameras have been installed in a large number.
06:06So to keep an eye on those cameras,
06:08we are using artificial intelligence.
06:11So that, like facial recognition technology,
06:15we are using it there for the first time.
06:17All the well-known big criminals or terrorists,
06:20their photos are already in it.
06:22If that person comes and our camera catches him,
06:25the alert will go to the control room immediately.
06:28So every camera is working for our eyes and ears.
06:32Secondly, if there is a lot of crowd,
06:35the artificial intelligence of the camera will tell us
06:37that the crowd has increased here.
06:39So we have defined many use cases in it,
06:42so that we can get information on time.
06:45So this is the most advanced technology.
06:49And we are using many techniques in it.
06:52I can't tell you all of them.
06:54So it should be a surprise element.
06:56See, the total is 40 crores.
06:58If we see,
07:00the whole Auckland,
07:02from 13th January to 26th February,
07:05about 40 crores people will come to Mahakumu.
07:09It is a matter of great pride.
07:10And from that,
07:12from the rail,
07:14about 1 crore 5 lakh pilgrims,
07:18we will take the pilgrims to their destination.
07:22In this, the most important day,
07:25which is Mounni Mawasya,
07:26there is an expectation of 5 crore pilgrims.
07:30In that, we will do 15 lakh on D-1 to D-2.
07:35In that, the most important thing is that
07:37on the D-day,
07:39we will drive 132 cars,
07:41for outgoing.
07:43And this time, the Indian Railway
07:45has made a plan to run about 13,000 cars.
07:49In that, about 10,000 cars are regular.
07:52In the last Kumbh, there were only 7,000.
07:55Apart from this, there are 3,000 special cars.
07:58Special cars are of two types.
08:00Our short distance special cars are about 2,055.
08:04And apart from this,
08:05we are running about 1,000 long distance cars.
08:10And apart from this,
08:12to run all these,
08:14we have been working on this since last year.
08:17We have arranged for 155 rakes,
08:20which will run these cars.
08:22And apart from this,
08:23there are 45 Memu rakes.
08:25In these cars, these things have been taken care of,
08:27that if it is not Memu,
08:29apart from that,
08:30it has been made like Memu.
08:32There is an engine in the front and in the back.
08:35The engine in the front and in the back is important
08:37so that we do not have to do a reversal.
08:40And very soon, we will take the car to the station
08:43and take the pilgrims to their destination.
08:46Divyajan and our important coaches
08:50have special arrangements for all of them.
08:53And at the stations,
08:55our important senior citizens,
08:58if they have difficulty walking,
09:00the entire team of our RPF
09:02takes them and helps them.
09:06All help chairs are available for that,
09:13and it is very important that
09:16they are able to climb the FOB.
09:19If they are not able to climb the FOB,
09:21then our soldiers of RPF
09:23take them in their lap
09:25and it becomes very important
09:29so that they do not have any kind of problem.
09:32Apart from this,
09:34the medical facilities for the pilgrims
09:37are provided at the stations,
09:39so that if there is any problem,
09:41they can be given immediate medical help.
09:43As I said, the total is about 40 crores.
09:45And those who go back by train,
09:48we expect about 1 crore 5 lakhs.
09:51The total is 2,055 plus 1,000 cars.
09:54And apart from this,
09:56the people who go in regular trains,
09:58it is estimated to be about 1 crore 5 lakhs.
10:00The Indian Railway has prepared
10:02extensive information about Mahakumbh.
10:04The 9 stations connected to Prayag Raj
10:06have all been decorated
10:08with a new series.
10:10And there are many facilities
10:12for the pilgrims.
10:14During this year's Mahakumbh,
10:16we have decided to transport
10:18more than 13,000 cars.
10:20And 10,000 cars will be regular there,
10:22while about 3,100 cars
10:24will be transported
10:26as special cars.
10:28In this year's Mahakumbh,
10:30the pilgrims should get
10:32as much information as possible
10:34about Mahakumbh.
10:36In this year's Mahakumbh,
10:38the Indian Railway has prepared
10:40a booklet in English and
10:42in 22 Indian languages.
10:44In this booklet,
10:46information has been provided
10:48about the transport of cars
10:50and about Mahakumbh.
10:52In addition to this,
10:54we have used artificial intelligence
10:56to arrange announcements
10:58in 12 Indian languages.
11:00The direction or the state
11:02where the car will come,
11:04the announcement will be
11:06made in the language of that state.
11:08The announcement has been
11:10made in Hindi and English.
11:12Suppose a car is going
11:14from Prayagraj to Hamdabad,
11:16then for the convenience
11:18of the Gujarati pilgrims,
11:20we have also arranged
11:22announcements in Gujarati.
11:24This is a new step
11:26of the Indian Railway
11:28so that we can provide
11:30maximum assistance to the pilgrims.
11:321186 cameras have been installed
11:34in all the railway stations
11:36and the circulating area
11:38of Prayag.
11:40The analysis of the feed
11:42obtained from all these 1186 cameras
11:44has been carried out.
11:46For this purpose,
11:48we have installed
11:50five level monitoring systems
11:52on each platform.
11:54In addition to this,
11:56a control room has been
11:58installed at each station.
12:00Then all the information
12:02on the level of division and
12:04journal will be monitored
12:06and the decision will be
12:08taken accordingly.
12:10A central war room has been
12:12installed in the railway
12:14for the analysis of
12:16all the information
12:18related to the stations
12:20and for the monitoring
12:22of the travel facilities
12:24on the basis of
12:26their analysis.
12:28A round-the-clock monitoring
12:30will be carried out
12:32by the department officials
12:34and they will be able
12:36to provide the necessary
12:38instructions
12:40and facilities
12:42at the stations
12:44so that the pilgrims
12:46do not face any difficulty.
