In a major step to manage rising passenger traffic, the Ministry of Railways has rolled out an extensive plan to build dedicated passenger holding areas at 76 stations across the country. The initiative aims to reduce crowding on platforms by shifting waiting passengers to organised pre-boarding zones equipped with seating, drinking water, toilets, ticket counters, information screens and security systems.

A prototype facility at the New Delhi Railway Station is already operational and has helped streamline footfall significantly.
