In order to ensure effective management of crowd and social distancing, entry to the station is allowed only through platform number 1. As around 50% of employees are working at the station on roster duty due to COVID-19, the facility is not extended to other platform number 6, it added.
Moreover, the employees working at public contact areas like booking and reservation counters and Train Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTEs) are specially sensitised.
