The enthusiasm of the devotees to go to Mahakumbh did not diminish in the severe cold. More than 72 thousand devotees traveled by train from Monday to Tuesday evening. Seeing the increasing crowd, the management had to run more than 26 MEMUs from Central Station and Govindpuri. Even this did not work, so at 1.15 am, Kumbh Mela Special (MEMU) was called from Karbigwan and three thousand passengers were sent to Prayagraj. GRP, RPF and railway personnel remained deployed till 6 in the morning despite the end of duty.
