Indian Railways has introduced 18,000 special trains to manage the festive rush during Diwali, Durga Puja, and Chhath. The railways have deployed AI-powered surveillance systems and additional security personnel at major stations to ensure passenger safety and smooth operations. Around 30 security personnel are deployed per shift at Bhopal Railway Station to manage crowds and maintain order. The government's 'war room' is closely monitoring crowds at key stations, with New Delhi being the only station to experience severe crowding, which was eased by additional trains. The railways have also strengthened public announcement systems to provide timely updates to passengers.
