Diwali rush: Over 8.20 lakh passengers travel in six days; Western Railway runs 73 special trains
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 7 (IANS) More than 8.20 lakh passengers travelled from stations under the Ahmedabad Division of Western Railway in the first six days of November, prompting the railway administration to deploy additional staff, set up holding areas and operate 73 special train trips to manage the festive rush during Diwali and Chhath Puja. Between November 1 and 6, the division recorded 4.55 lakh passengers travelling on unreserved tickets and 3.65 lakh on reserved tickets. Ahmedabad Railway Station accounted for more than 3.20 lakh passengers, followed by Sabarmati with 1.30 lakh and Asarwa with around 50,000. Together, the three stations handled more than five lakh passengers during the six days. To meet the additional demand, Western Railway is operating 73 special train trips from the Ahmedabad Division during November to destinations across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and other states. The services are being operated from Ahmedabad, Sabarmati, Asarwa, Bhuj and Gandhidham, connecting passengers to cities including Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Mumbai, Prayagraj, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Barauni, Rajgir, Jaipur, Haridwar and Bhagalpur. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Ved Prakash visited Ahmedabad Railway Station late at night and remained there with railway officials to oversee arrangements for passengers travelling during the festive season. He inspected the holding areas and other facilities and interacted with passengers heading to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to enquire about their travel experience. He also extended Chhath Puja greetings and appealed to them to board trains in an orderly manner. Passengers raised slogans of 'Chhath Maiya Ki Jai' alongside the DRM and appreciated the arrangements. They said that after waiting for some time, they were allowed to board trains in an organised manner, allowing them to proceed towards their hometowns. Special holding areas have been set up at Ahmedabad and Sabarmati stations to prevent overcrowding on platforms. Seating, drinking water, lighting and fans have been provided at these locations for passengers waiting for their trains. The division has also arranged food packets, water bottles, chips and biscuits for general-class passengers. Voluntary organisations and NGOs are assisting in distributing food and drinking water. Additional cleaning staff have been deployed, while water coolers and other drinking water facilities are being monitored regularly. For security and crowd management, additional Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel, ticket-checking staff and other railway employees have been deployed. CCTV cameras are being used to monitor station premises, platforms and crowded areas. Particular attention is being paid to regulating passenger movement at entry and exit gates, foot overbridges and platforms. A dedicated war room has also been set up in the control building at the DRM's office to monitor passenger movement and train operations round the clock. During his inspection, Prakash reviewed CCTV surveillance, real-time crowd management, passenger movement on platforms, holding areas and queue-based boarding arrangements. He directed officials to coordinate immediately through the war room and take necessary action in the event of excessive crowding or passenger inconvenience at any station. Information about special train services, schedules and passenger facilities is being disseminated through electronic display boards, public announcement systems and social media. Train operations and punctuality are also being monitored regularly. The division has appealed to passengers to follow railway guidelines, maintain discipline on station premises and reach stations sufficiently ahead of their scheduled train departure times.

Married UP man dies by suicide after friend's daughter rejects his proposal in Delhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) A 47-year-old married man died by suicide after setting himself on fire inside a utensil factory in northwest Delhi's Wazirpur Industrial Area. Police said he left behind a suicide note in which he attributed his extreme step to the breakdown of his alleged 'friendship' with a 20-year-old woman, who is his friend's daughter. The deceased, identified as Sandeep, was a native of Sant Kabir Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, where he lived with his wife and two children. According to police, Sandeep frequently visited a friend's house, where he developed feelings for the latter's daughter. The woman, who works at a utensil factory in Wazirpur Industrial Area, lives alone in Delhi. Police said Sandeep regularly contacted the woman over the phone. However, she had reportedly stopped communicating with him for some time. Disturbed by this, he travelled to Delhi on Thursday. On Friday, Sandeep reached the factory carrying two bottles of petrol and asked the woman to marry him. When she declined his proposal, he poured petrol over himself and set himself ablaze, police said. Hearing his cries, factory workers rushed to help him. They managed to extinguish the flames and immediately shifted him to Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. During the investigation, police recovered a suicide note in which Sandeep held the woman responsible for the breakdown of their friendship and linked it to his decision to take his own life. However, the woman has denied being in a relationship with him, police said. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, while the deceased's family has been informed about the incident. Further investigation into the matter is underway. In a separate incident earlier this week, a 25-year-old man died by suicide at the residence of his married girlfriend in Kanpur on Tuesday. He had reportedly gone to meet her and was sitting inside a room when her brother-in-law grew suspicious of someone's presence inside. In desperation the young man decided to kill himself.

Security beefed up in Ayodhya amid last minute 'Deepotsav' preparations
Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Nov 5 (AINS) Ahead of the Diwali festival, security has been strengthened in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya as preparations are underway in full swing for the upcoming 'Deepotsav' celebrations in the sacred temple town. The 2026 edition of Deepotsav in Ayodhya is set to offer a unique combination of tradition and modern technology, with a series of immersive presentations designed to attract the younger generation. In view of the celebrations, a key briefing was held by the district administration and police department at Ram Katha Park on Thursday, where Additional Director General (ADG) (Ayodhya Range) Praveen Kumar, Ayodhya District Magistrate Shashank Tripathi and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gaurav Grover issued necessary instructions to officials to ensure the smooth and safe conduct of the event. Speaking to reporters, ADG Praveen Kumar said: There are a series of events here during the Hindu month of Kartik. Everyone remains vigilant regarding security as a large number of devotees visit Ayodhya. The focus of today's briefing was to conduct the event through a proper coordination between locals, the administration and the police. We will use drones and other technologies for surveillance during the event, he added, assuring that the celebrations will be successfully conducted with the coordination of the Ayodhya residents. Apart from the presence of police personnel on the ground, security arrangements of the event are also being monitored from the control room, through CCTV cameras. NSG commandos and the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) will also maintain strict vigil throughout the celebrations, officials said. Meanwhile, preparations for the 'Deepotsav' are in their final stages, with artisans from Kolkata and Kanpur putting the finishing touches on the chariot of Lord Ram. One of the artisans, Sanjay Gupta, told IANS, The Ram Rath is being constructed, on which (artists dressed as ) Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lord Laxman, and Lord Hanuman will ride to the consecration site. It is 80 per cent per cent ready. The remaining 20 per cent will be completed today. Tableaux are being prepared at Ayodhya's KS Saket PG College ground ahead of the 'Deepotsav', showcasing scenes from the Ramayana, depicting the vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047', the BrahMos missile and development across Uttar Pradesh. Speaking on the 'Deepotsav' celebrations, former Babri Masjid litigant Iqbal Ansari highlighted the significance of Diwali festival in the temple town. Diwali is a festival whose joy is celebrated across the country and the world. It is celebrated with even greater enthusiasm in Ayodhya because Lord Ram resides here. When Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya, the entire city was decorated. Even today, on Diwali, it feels as though Lord Ram himself is returning, and people will welcome him with lamps. This is the beauty of Ayodhya, he told IANS.
