Amid festive rush, New Delhi Railway Station gets separate entry, exit gates for reserved, unreserved passengers
As the holiday season brings increased travel, Northern Railway has implemented a new system at New Delhi Railway Station to streamline passenger flow and ease congestion. Separate entry and exit gates have been designated for reserved and unreserved passengers, with the goal of reducing overcrowding in key areas of the station.
Reserved passengers traveling to platforms 1-15 must use Gate No. 8 and Gate No. 11, which are marked in blue. Unreserved passengers traveling to platforms 1-16 should use Gate No. 12, distinguished by yellow markings.
In addition to the gate system, Northern Railway is employing one-way movement at the station, restricting passengers from using the same gates for entry and exit. Mobile ticketing and handheld devices are being utilized to expedite ticket issuance and minimize wait times at counters. Platform ticket sales have been temporarily suspended to prevent unnecessary entrance and reduce crowding.
Signboards have been placed throughout the station, guiding passengers to their designated gates and entry/exit points. Special provisions, such as accessible ramps and pathways, remain available for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and those requiring wheelchair assistance.
