Platform Ticket News: The festive season has started in India. The festivals of Dhanteras 2022, Diwali 2022, Bhaiya Dooj and Chhath (Chhath Puja 2022) will be celebrated in a few days. In such a situation, there is a tremendous increase in the number of people traveling from railways to air.
For the convenience of the passengers, the Railways has run many Diwali and Chhath special trains for states like UP-Bihar, but due to the large number of passengers, there is a problem in getting the confirmed tickets. In the coming days, crowds of people will gather at railway stations like Delhi (New Delhi Station), Ghaziabad, Sahibabad Junction.
Taking a big step to control the crowd, the railways has increased the price of platform ticket up to 3 times. Now a ticket available for Rs 10 is being available for Rs 30.
Let us tell you that this decision of the Railways will have the biggest impact on the passengers traveling from stations like Delhi-NCR railway stations like New Delhi Railway Station, Anand Vihar Railway Terminal, Sahibabad Junction, Ghaziabad. During Diwali and Chhath, a large number of people travel from these stations to states like UP-Bihar.
Railway Police is running special campaign
In order to control the crowd at Indian railway stations, along with increasing the price of platform tickets, many other campaigns are being run. RPF is increasing the number of personnel so that passengers do not face any kind of trouble at the railway station during festivals.
Earlier, four constables were stationed on the platform of Ghaziabad, whose number has now been increased to 12. This will help in managing the rush of passengers. Along with this, for the convenience of the passengers, passengers will be monitored outside the railway station with a metal detector.
Number of trains increased at Ghaziabad railway station
In normal days, more than 50 trains from UP, Bihar and West Bengal arrive at Ghaziabad railway station, but during the festive season of Diwali – Chhath, the number of passengers increases by almost 10 times.

Such new prices will be applicable till 30 October 2022. After this, platform tickets will be available at the railway station at the old rate.
