Delhi Police has introduced several measures to manage the heavy rush of passengers at New Delhi Railway Station to prevent another stampede-like situation, an official said on Tuesday. A stampede at the station on Saturday (February 15) night claimed 18 lives and left several injured.

“A special meeting was held on Monday night, during which it was decided that passengers arriving too early before their scheduled train departure will have to wait outside the railway station. To ensure smooth movement, Delhi Police personnel, along with the RPF and GRP, will check passengers’ tickets at all entry and exit points,” a senior police officer said.
