With focus on cleanliness and public awareness, Prayagraj hosts Maha Kumbh 2025

A large congregation of devotees from across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and West Bengal has gathered at the Sangam, leading to an unprecedented demand for transportation.

Over the past two days, railway stations across multiple cities, including Patna, Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Lucknow, Jabalpur, and Ranchi, have witnessed heavy footfall. As lakhs of pilgrims prepare to return home, the railway administration has mobilized all resources to ensure smooth and efficient operations, added the statement.

In view of the anticipated rush, North Central Railway, North Eastern Railway, and Northern Railway have been directed to remain on high alert. Previously, on Mouni Amavasya, over 360 special trains were deployed to transport more than 20 lakh passengers safely. A similar plan has been implemented for Maha Shivaratri, with extra rakes positioned near Prayagraj for emergency use.
