At the meeting it was decided that an officer of DSP rank and a magistrate will be deployed district-wise to oversee the arrangements at the railway stations and for better coordination. The ADG also sought information about the vehicles entering into or leaving Prayagraj for better arrangements for the devotees.

During the meeting, instructions were given to establish mutual coordination with the district police control room and those at the local railway stations.

The mobile number and WhatsApp number of the officer-in-charge, magistrate deputed for security at the concerned railway station will be available in the railway and district police control rooms for better coordination, assistance and ensure law and order can.

Guidelines issued in the meeting:

People without tickets should not enter the station during peak hours. All the entry and exit points of the station will be marked so that if needed, the area can be used to reduce the crowd.

Along with GRP / RPF, an adequate number of security forces will be made available at all the gates of the railway station.

By establishing mutual coordination with the railways, special attention will be paid to the foot over bridge built at the station for the movement of passengers.

An ambulance along with paramedics staff will be deputed at the station to deal with the emergency situation. The first aid kit will be available with the local police. The Deputy Commissioner will depute a doctor at his level.
