In response to the recent stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, the Jammu and Kashmir Railway administration has intensified crowd control measures at Katra station to enhance passenger safety. Katra, being a popular pilgrimage destination, often experiences heavy footfall, particularly during festive seasons and weekends.
The new safety protocols include increased deployment of security personnel, installation of barricades, and improved passenger flow management. Additionally, the railway administration is using public announcements and digital displays to guide travelers efficiently, minimizing the risk of congestion.
Speaking about the initiative, a railway official stated, "We are taking proactive steps to prevent overcrowding and ensure smooth movement of passengers. Safety is our top priority."
The enhanced measures come after the tragic incident at New Delhi Railway Station, where overcrowding led to a stampede, resulting in injuries and chaos. The administration aims to prevent such incidents by maintaining strict crowd control and adhering to safety guidelines.
Travelers at Katra station have welcomed the new safety protocols, appreciating the administration's efforts to ensure a secure and organized travel experience. The measures are expected to ease passenger movement and enhance overall safety at the station.
