The purpose of this is that a train can be run at an interval of about 4 minutes and people can be taken from the railway station connected to Sangam as soon as possible.  

More than 360 trains will run

As part of the plan to normalise the situation in the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, information has also been shared by the Railway Ministry.

The Railway Board says that special trains carrying new passengers will not come to Kumbh area today because today is the day of bathing. Today, special trains will not bring new passengers especially for the royal bath. Trains are leaving from Prayagraj. This is an evacuation plan especially for the day of bathing. 360 trains are special today which will run from Prayagraj. That is, to go out of Prayagraj. This arrangement is only for the day of bathing. Today is the day of bathing, hence special trains will not come to Prayagraj. For example, if someone wants to come to Prayagraj from Ayodhya or Banaras during the day today, he will not be able to come, but for the existing passengers, all trains are running from Prayagraj.
