There will be no sale of platform tickets at New Delhi, Old Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Anand Vihar and Delhi Sarai Rohilla railway stations till November 6 in anticipation of a heavy rush of travellers heading to their homes for Diwali and Chhath Puja, Northern Railways has said.
The move comes as 10 people were injured in a stampede at Mumbai's Bandra Terminus railway station on Sunday after hundreds were trying to board a Gorakhpur-bound unreserved train to travel to their native places for the upcoming festival season.
