In response to the tragic stampede at Delhi Station, authorities have begun a complete overhaul of the city's crowd control measures. The new system includes the implementation of color-coded crowd management and the establishment of committed "war zones" for the monitoring and management of large meetings. These steps are intended to prevent other disruptions during peak times and improve the security of commuters.
The colour-coded system helps authorities better identify different crowd zones, allowing for more efficient crowd management and faster answers in emergencies. Trained staff are stationed at critical times to ensure smooth movement and tackle signs of overcrowding before escalation. The aim is to provide a more controlled environment organized at busy stations, especially at festivals and public holidays when passenger numbers increase.
Furthermore, the introduction of war zones will allow real-time monitoring and coordination between the various agencies involved in station management. These rooms are equipped with the latest technology to pursue crowd density, and will draw out schedules and emergency services so that civil servants can take immediate action as needed. This strategic shift aims to make Indian train stations safer and more efficient to restore commuters and prevent incidents such as the latest stampedes.
