In addition, the petitioner has sought directions to the Indian Railways to improve passenger safety by widening corridors, constructing broader overbridges and platforms, and ensuring easy access to platforms through ramps and escalators during peak hours.

The plea also calls for the avoidance of last-minute changes to train platforms and requests that ticket counters refrain from issuing tickets beyond the station's capacity.

"The Government and Railway ministry are very well aware that when a large Maha Kumbh is going on and lakhs of people are boarding from the Railway Stations from all States. Then the Railways should have made adequate arrangements and safety measures.

There have been many videos on social media and news reports that show the chaotic condition at the railway stations where the people are suffering.

The bogies are seen fully filled, not leaving an inch of space and people are packed like in a sack. Even the Reservation seats are not spared and mismanagement has been seen," the petition stated.

The petitioner had recently filed a PIL in the Supreme Court following the stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela. However, the Supreme Court declined to entertain the petition and directed the petitioner to approach the High Court instead.

Today, another lawyer brought up the matter before a bench headed by Justice Oka, urging the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the stampede. However, Justice Oka stated that the mention must be made before the Chief Justice of India.
