Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the Railways will implement 3 important steps after the New Delhi Railway Station stampede to help avert such incidents in future. Holding areas will be created at 60 of the busiest railway stations in the country. A manual will be made on how to control the crowd in the railway. An awareness campaign about the need to keep the stairways of the railway station free will be run. The railways will also make changes in their operating manual as well to deal better with such tragedies. The Railway Ministry is also going to run a special campaign for six months to raise awareness about crowd control. The list includes New Delhi, Anand Vihar Station, Lucknow, Varanasi, Mughalsarai, Kanpur, Jhansi, Patna, Darbhanga, Ara, Mumbai, Surat, Sonpur, Bangalore, Howrah and Malda. There is no violation of rules in this. Sources in the ministry said whenever there is a stampede of this kind, cash is given.
