At platform number 1, the DRM found a large number of projections hampering easy movement of passengers.

In addition to this, the DRM also examined second class waiting hall situated on the city side of the station.

Officers had also been asked to use glow signs on signboards. This was being done to improve visibility of signboards during night. Besides, orders were issued to set up temporary facilitation shelter for passengers during the upcoming Ardh Kumbh mela, he said.

“There will be five such shelters on the city side of the station and one shelter on the Civil Lines side,” he said.
