Prayagraj, however, ran relatively empty. At Charbagh railway station, returning pilgrims complained of overcrowding on trains like Gorakhpur-Bandra, Gorakhpur-Panvel, Amritsar-Howrah Punjab Mail, and LTT-Pratapgarh Express. GRPS personnel struggled to manage the crowds. Evening Lucknow-Prayagraj Intercity and Ganga Gomti Express trains showed some relief.
