With the festive season approaching, a significant increase in passenger traffic is expected at major city railway stations. In response, Northern Railway has made adjustments to the entry system at New Delhi Railway Station to improve crowd management.
Himanshu Shekhar, Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway, announced that new measures include platform-specific entry gates and separate entries for passengers with reservations versus those holding general tickets.
Under the revised system, entry to platform 16 via the foot overbridge has been closed. Passengers with reservations for trains departing from platform 16 can access it exclusively through gates 7 and 10 on the Ajmeri Gate side.
Entry for general ticket holders
A dedicated gate and a ‘green corridor’ have been established for passengers with unreserved general tickets, allowing for smoother access. These passengers can enter through gate number 12 from the Ajmeri Gate side using the designated corridor.
For platforms 1 to 15, passengers can use gates 8, 9, and 11, as entry through other gates will not be allowed.
No entry from metro skywalk
Access from the DMRC Metro Skywalk to the foot overbridge at New Delhi Railway Station has been temporarily suspended until November 2. Passengers will need to take a detour to reach the station during this time.
