SCoR strengthens crowd management measures at major stations

Visakhapatnam: South Coast Railway (SCoR) has intensified crowd management measures at major railway stations to ensure the safe and smooth movement of passengers, particularly with the onset of the festive season. General Manager of South Coast Railway Sandeep Mathur coordinated the efforts being undertaken by the Commercial Department, Railway Protection Force (RPF), operating department and other concerned railway officials to prevent overcrowding, facilitate orderly boarding and enhance passenger safety at stations.

As part of the measures, adequate ticket-checking staff and RPF personnel are being deployed at important stations, frequent announcements regarding train arrivals and departures, platform changes, boarding instructions and other essential passenger information in the passenger announcement system. Passengers are advised to maintain queues, follow railway staff instructions and avoid unnecessary crowding on platforms and near train entrances.

Special teams were deployed to identify and monitor congestion-prone areas, CCTV surveillance and surprise inspections to ensure crowd management arrangements. South Coast Railway appeals to passengers to cooperate with railway staff and RPF personnel, maintain orderly queues, avoid rushing while boarding or alighting from trains, and follow announcements and instructions displayed at stations.
