Holding Areas, Access Control and AI CCTV: Railways Rolls Out New Passenger Management Plan
New Delhi Railway Station has already become the first example of this model in operation. According to the government, the station’s holding area is now serving passengers with a range of amenities including additional ticket counters, automatic ticket vending machines, public announcement systems, electronic train information boards, CCTV surveillance, luggage scanners, door frame metal detectors, uninterrupted power supply, improved lighting, high-volume low-speed fans, fire-fighting and lightning protection systems, RO drinking water and separate toilets for men, women and Divyangjan passengers. Similar arrangements are planned for the remaining stations, though implementation timelines will depend on planning and execution at each location.
