Due to the first bathing festival of Magh Mela 2026, Paush Purnima, traffic restrictions have been imposed at the railway station in Prayagraj. The circulating area of the junction has been declared a no-vehicle zone, causing inconvenience to passengers. Entry from the Civil Lines side is closed, forcing people to take... a long detour. To manage the crowd and prevent collisions, the railway has designated separate entry and exit gates. Passengers can now enter the station only from the City side (Leader Road), while the Civil Lines side (Nawab Yusuf Road) is only for exit. This change forces passengers coming from the Civil Lines side to walk an extra 3 kilometers to reach the City side. The ban on vehicle entry is severely affecting the elderly, women, and children. E-rickshaw and auto drivers are taking advantage of the situation and charging exorbitant fares. Ramdin (65) from Sultanpur, and Sunita Devi, with her young child, share their struggles. According to Divisional PRO Amit Singh, this arrangement is for crowd management and security and will continue until two days after the end of the bathing festival. Parking has been closed at the station. While the railway administration considers this necessary for security, the lack of shuttle services and assistance centers is making the journey difficult for pilgrims.

Magh Mela 2026 ke pehle snan parv, Paush Purnima, ke karan Prayagraj railway station par traffic restrictions lage hain. Junction ka circulating area ko no-vehicle zone declare kar diya gaya hai, jisse passengers ko pareshani ho rahi hai. Civil Lines ki taraf se pravesh band hone ke karan logon ko lamba... chakkar katna pad raha hai. Bheed ko control karne aur takkar ko rokne ke liye, railway ne entry aur exit ke alag-alag gates designated kiye hain. Ab passengers sirf City side (Leader Road) se station mein enter kar sakte hain, jabki Civil Lines side (Nawab Yusuf Road) sirf exit ke liye hai. Is change se Civil Lines se aane wale passengers ko lagbhag 3 kilometer ka chakkar katkar City side jana pad raha hai. Vehicles ke entry par ban ka sabse zyada asar buzurgon, women, aur children par pad raha hai. E-rickshaw aur auto drivers majboori ka fayda utha kar muh manga kiraya vasool rahe hain. Ramdin (65) from Sultanpur, aur Sunita Devi, apne chote bache ke saath, apni struggles share karti hain. According to Divisional PRO Amit Singh, yeh arrangement crowd management aur security ke liye hai aur snan parv ke baad do din tak continue rahega. Parking station par band kar di gayi hai. Lekin, shuttle services ya assistance centers ki kami se pilgrims ke liye safar shuru mein kaafi kashtkari sabit ho raha hai.

The Indian Railway IRCTC's anti-fog device currently provides limited information to the loco pilot. It only indicates whether a signal between two signals is green or red, providing no additional visibility or information within the 500-meter range. The device is thus of limited utility for loco pilots in foggy conditions for... the remainder of the area.

Indian Railway IRCTC ka anti-fog device currently sirf do signals ke beech signal ka status batata hai - green hai ya red. 500 meter se pehle, yeh device loco pilot ke liye aur koi information provide nahi karta hai. Iska matlab hai ki yeh device fog mein loco pilots ke liye... puri tarah useful nahi hai, especially beyond the 500-meter range.

The project includes 7 mountain tunnels and one underwater tunnel, with 12 stations in total. The terminal stations are Sabarmati and BKC in Mumbai.

On the first day of the year, Thursday, the Bilaspur Railway Division implemented a new arrangement on the Vande Bharat Express. The responsibility of ticket checking was assigned to female TTEs. Three female employees, along with two male colleagues, checked tickets on the train up to Nagpur and back. A decision... has been made to deploy one more female TTE. The Vande Bharat train is a special train of the railways, known for its modern amenities, and its management also differs from other trains. Passengers enjoy traveling in it. One of the features is the TTEs who check tickets, whose dress color and design are similar to that of the Rajdhani Express. On the first day of this new arrangement, four female employees, including Neha Gujar, Nisha Sinha, Preeti, and Priyanka Yadav, were assigned to ticket checking. They arrived in the uniform, carrying walkie-talkies and other necessary checking tools. This was new for the passengers traveling on this train. The three TTEs will now regularly perform duty on this train. The Railway Division is making efforts to ensure that only female ticket checking staff is deployed on the train until March 8, Women's Day. The train operates six days a week between Bilaspur and Nagpur, with operations suspended on Saturdays for maintenance and cleaning. A separate shed is being constructed near the coaching depot for the train's maintenance, which will have washing lines and other facilities. The main objectives are to reduce the likelihood of disputes, increase the confidence of female passengers traveling alone, and allow them to share their concerns more easily, further enhancing the special train's unique identity.

Bilaspur Rail Mandal ne saal ke pehle din, Thursday ko Vande Bharat Express mein ek nayi vyavastha shuru ki hai. Ticket checking ki zimmedari mahila TTEs ko di gayi. Teen mahila karamchari, do purush ke saath, Nagpur tak ticket check kiye aur wapas aakar bhi duty nibhai. Ek aur mahila TTE... ki duty lagane ka nirnay liya gaya hai. Vande Bharat train railway ki ek vishesh train hai, jo modern facilities se les hai, aur iski vyavastha bhi anya trains se alag hai. Yatri ismein safar karna pasand karte hain. TTEs jo ticket check karte hain, unki dress ka rang aur design Rajdhani Express ki tarah hai. Pehle din, Neha Gujar, Nisha Sinha, Preeti, aur Priyanka Yadav jaise char mahila karamchariyon ko ticket checking ki duty di gayi. Unhone uniform pehni aur walkie-talkie aur checking ke zaroori instruments liye the. Yatriyon ke liye yeh naya tha. Teeno TTEs ab regularly is train mein duty karenge. Railway Division March 8, Mahila Diwas tak is train mein sirf mahila ticket checking staff rakhne ki koshish kar raha hai. Train Bilaspur se Nagpur ke beech haftay mein chh din chalti hai, Saturday ko maintenance aur cleaning ke liye band rahti hai. Coaching depot ke paas train ke maintenance ke liye alag shed banaya ja raha hai, jahan washing lines aur anya facilities hongi. Mukhya uddeshya hai vivadon ki sambhavna ko kam karna, akele safar karne wali mahila yatriyon ka vishwas badhana, aur unhein apni pareshaniyan aasani se share karne dena, jisse vishesh train ki ek alag pehchan banegi.
