Passengers are requested to arrive at least 90 minutes before departure of the train.
Passengers with confirmed tickets only will be allowed into the Platform.

Bhubaneswar (Kalinga Voice) To prevent the spread of Corona Virus, it has been decided to follow the guidelines issued by Govt of India and State Governments strictly at Railway Stations. In view of this and to handle this crisis situation, East Coast Railway has taken steps to handle & prevent spread of corona virus.

Thermal scanning of all the passengers is available only at Platform Number- 1. All passengers are being scanned through this. This is a very effective system. Also baggage scanning machine and baggage sanitizing machine are also installed at Platform Number- 1 side. Recently baggage wrapping machine is also installed at Platform Number- 1.

To effectively manage crowd and maintain proper discipline in social distancing, entry by Platform Number- 1 is allowed as of now. Also because of COVID 19, 50% employees are working in roster duty. As staffs are less, it would be difficult to provide security at PF no 6 side, if opened.As there is no train services on Platform no.06,the opening of gate will involve wasteful expenditure and create security hazards.

Staff coming in contact with passengers at mass contact areas like booking and reservation offices are specially being sensitized and the same with Train Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTEs).

Hence for better passenger security and covid precautions entry is allowed in Platform Number- 1 and that Platform Number- 6 is closed. Passengers are requested to co operate Railway in this crisis situation.
