The Railway Ministry is working towards running a large number of special trains for the Kumbh Mela. A senior railway official said that 992 special trains will be operated during the Kumbh Mela. The Kumbh Mela will be held in Prayagraj in January next year.

 

Railway track doubling is being done around Prayagraj Division.

 

According to officials, apart from running special trains, the ministry has set aside Rs 933 crore for the construction of various infrastructure and facilities for passengers. For the Kumbh Mela, the work of doubling the railway track for Rs 3,700 crore in the Prayagraj division and adjoining areas is being done at a fast pace to ensure the smooth movement of trains.

 

The Railway Minister held a review meeting.

 

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav and Ministers of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu and V Somanna held meetings on Saturday to review the arrangements to deal with the huge crowd of devotees during the Kumbh Mela starting from January 12.

 

As 30 to 50 crore devotees are expected to attend the Kumbh Mela, the Railway Ministry will run special trains for Prayagraj from various cities in addition to 6,580 regular trains. An official said that based on experience, we have decided to increase the number of special trains by 42 percent to 992.
