For Simhastha, the railway has created a mega crowd management plan: no shunting-no reversal plan, Vande Bharat and MEMU trains will run at junctions.

To handle the record crowd of devotees expected to attend the Simhastha Mahakumbh in Ujjain in 2028, the railway department has devised a mega crowd management plan. The primary task is to operate trains quickly and safely. To reduce the travel time during Simhastha, trains will be operated on a "no-shunting-no-reversal" formula. Notably, this will be implemented at junctions like Ratlam, Nagda, and Ujjain.
