00:00During the Mahakumbh, we were already prepared for the fact that a lot of devotees,
00:06because of the cold weather, there is a lot of crowd,
00:10plus there are a lot of old age people who already have a problem,
00:15they also miss or delay taking medicines.
00:18So we already had the assumption that people and devotees will definitely need medical care.
00:24And for this, the railway had made comprehensive preparations.
00:28The 8 stations from which we had to manage the crowd during the first sahi shnaan of Mahakumbh,
00:37we had provided medical booths on almost every platform of every station,
00:41medical booths in Yatri Ashram shed, with doctors and paramedical staff.
00:47Apart from this, we had made observation rooms at all the big stations,
00:53where we had provided facilities like mini ICU,
00:56so that people do not have to go out for secondary treatment from the station premises,
01:03because there is a crowd.
01:05We gave medical treatment to more than 10,000 people.
01:10And we shifted about 2,000 to 2,500 people to our observation rooms,
01:15where secondary level treatment could be given, and made everyone healthy.
01:23We did not have any health related problem, which could be said to be personal.
01:28All people either got well, or by availing the facility of secondary observation, got well again.
01:35Those who were seriously ill, we transferred them to the nearest hospital through the ambulances
01:41in the station premises as soon as possible,
01:47and gave them medical treatment there, and sent them back to their destination.
01:52On 13th and 14th January, there were two main mountains, which are now finished.
01:59Millions of people came from country to country, and they were back to back,
02:04because it was natural for the crowd to accumulate in Sahi shnaan.
02:08If we look at the railway premises, on 14th January,
02:11because till 13th January, the inward traffic pattern was more, people were coming from outside,
02:16and on 14th January, people started moving outward, towards their destination.
02:23And on 14th January, while setting the highest record,
02:29only NCR operated 101 Mela special trains.
02:33Apart from this, 35 special trains were operated by Purvottar Railway,
02:37and 12 special trains were operated by Uttar Railway.
02:40In this way, only 150 Mela special trains were operated.
02:44Apart from this, our regular trains, which run in the number of 200, were running.
02:49So, we evacuated people from here in a very large number.
02:53As soon as we felt the need, we took all our enclosures,
02:58four enclosures for our unreserved class passengers,
03:02one enclosure for our reserved class passengers,
03:05we operated all of them simultaneously,
03:09and guided them to their pre-defined platform.
03:14Apart from this, our emergency plan was that if the crowd increases,
03:19and if the need arises, then we will hold people in Khosrow Bagh,
03:24and then guide them to their platform.
03:28We did that and it was completely successful.
03:31The restrictions that we imposed, like we will keep the movement unidirectional,
03:35entry will be only from the city side, and exit will be from the civil line side,
03:39people will be segregated according to colour coding,
03:42and will go to their Yatri Ashrar shed, and will enter again.
03:45The planning of all these railways was completely successful,
03:49and people reached the platform in a guided and controlled way,
03:53and boarded the trains.
03:56Now comes the issue of silence.
03:58As the state government also assumes that the crowd will increase in this.
04:04So the railway is completely ready for that,
04:07and we are improving the things that we have seen.
04:11We are thinking about how to increase the number of trains.
04:15We are working to develop the holding area more,
04:18and to increase the area more.
04:22Apart from this, we felt that,
04:25like this time, the peak period,
04:28was from 10 pm to 2 am.
04:33It was a peak period of 16 hours,
04:36in which we drove the special trains in maximum number,
04:39and people evacuated.
04:41We assume that the duration of this peak period will increase,
04:46it may be 24 hours, 36 hours, or even beyond that.
04:49So according to that, we should be able to drive more trains.
04:53For that, we are making a complete plan,
04:56and arranging the necessary things for that.
04:59For example, demanding for special rakes,
05:02and if more staff is required, then how will we manage that.
05:06We are working on all those things,
05:08and with our excellent planning,
05:11during the Mahakumbh,
05:13we will be able to deliver the trains to their destinations,
05:17in a timely manner.
05:19Cleanliness is our main objective,
05:22to clean the railway area.
05:24For a long time, people have been organizing
05:27cycle rallies, cleanliness rallies,
05:30to make the public aware of the peak period.
05:33We have also received a lot of support from people.
05:36People have become aware,
05:38that they should not use single-use plastic,
05:40and should not pollute the railway area.
05:42Apart from this, we have also organized
05:45more than 1000 cleaners,
05:47to clean the coaches,
05:49and about 2000 workers,
05:51to clean the railway premises.
05:54These people are continuously cleaning the railway premises,
05:58and with the help of people,
06:00we have achieved great success
06:02in keeping the railway area clean.
