Shri Vinod Kumar Yadav, Chairman Railway Board was on his first visit to Prayagraj and began inspection of Allahabad Junction station of North Central Railway. He inspected the circulating area, passenger amenities and the new works that have been done at the station, especially those relating to the Kumbh Mela 2019, which is scheduled to start from the 14 January, 2019. He spent time at the newly widened foot overbridge (FOB), newly constructed skywalk connecting two main FOBs of the station, newly constructed FOB at Delhi End of the station, passenger enclosures at the City side of the station and the newly constructed platform No. 6. Inside the Passenger Enclosures, he inspected the various facilities like ticketing counters, ATVMs, toilets, water booths etc. He also released the special "Kumbh Rail Seva" Jacket that would be worn by the railway staff and volunteers who would be manning the railway stations of the Prayagraj and would be easily identifiable by passengers needing assistance by virtue of wearing the jacket. CRB and GM/NCR Shri Rajiv Chaudhry along with DRM/Allahabad and other senior officers personally wore the jacket as a mark of respect for those staff and officers who would be putting in their best to serve the Kumbh Mela pilgrims using the railway system. At the enclosures, CRB also met the volunteers of the Scouts and Guides organization and motivated them to put in their best in the Mela effort. CRB inspected the 'Tower Control Room' at Allahabad Junction station which has been set up for monitoring, controlling and coordinating the Kumbh related train operations at different stations in Prayagraj when the actual Kumbh Mela is in progress.
