In preparation for Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Din 2026, Central Railway’s Nagpur Division has implemented extensive arrangements at Nagpur and Ajni stations to ensure a smooth travel experience for the anticipated 2.5 lakh additional passengers. The four-day event, scheduled from October 19th to 22nd, 2026, will see the introduction of 26 special train services and the temporary halting of 14 trains at Ajni station.
To manage the crowds, additional holding areas have been set up on the eastern side of Nagpur station in Santra Market and at Ajni station's parking area. Both areas will be equipped with lighting, fans, mobile toilets, and seating for passenger comfort. Car parking facilities at both stations will be closed during this period to facilitate crowd control.
Several measures have been taken to streamline ticketing and passenger assistance. Five additional Mobile Unreserved Ticketing System (MUTS) facilities have been deployed at Nagpur station, along with similar facilities at the holding areas. A dedicated Passenger Assistance Centre has been established at the Deekshabhoomi premises to provide information about special trains and ticket issuance.
The sale of platform tickets at Nagpur and Ajni stations will be suspended from October 19th to 22nd, 2026, to prevent overcrowding. ‘May I Help You’ booths have been set up at both stations to guide passengers and address their queries. Emergency medical facilities, including ambulance vans, and adequate provisions of safe drinking water will be available to ensure passenger comfort.
Enhanced cleanliness, security, and surveillance measures have been implemented, including additional cleaning staff, extra Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, and increased CCTV coverage. Continuous monitoring and coordination between Nagpur Division officers and other departments are in place to promptly address any issues that may arise.
To keep passengers informed, over 100 banners and 25 large hoardings have been installed at strategic locations across Nagpur, providing updates on special train timings, halts, and operational changes. Central Railway’s Nagpur Division remains committed to providing safe, convenient, and efficient passenger services during Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Din 2026.
