Authorities have reviewed arrangements at Gaya Junction ahead of the Pitripaksh Mela, with a strong focus on passenger convenience and station security during the expected rush. The inspection involved senior officials, including the Speaker and the district administration, as preparations continued for the annual pilgrimage period.
According to the review, officials examined whether basic passenger facilities were adequate for the increase in footfall. The discussion covered crowd handling, station readiness and the need to keep platforms and circulation areas clear for smoother movement.
Safety measures were a major part of the inspection. Officials directed that construction materials be removed from station premises, while CCTV systems are set to be strengthened to improve surveillance. Deployment of Railway Protection Force personnel was also emphasized as part of the security plan.
The review suggests that the administration wants Gaya railway station to be better prepared before the mela begins. With upgrades in monitoring, security presence and public amenities, the aim is to make travel through Gaya Junction safer and more manageable for arriving pilgrims and other passengers.
