In the scene above we can see people are waiting for their respective journey to start. All are waiting either on the ground(family of husband and wife and their two kids), on benches(lady and an old man), and on the luggage(which is to be loaded by coolies in the luggage compartment of the train on the next platform). Its a typical scene of an Indian Railways platform.

When passengers enter the Old Delhi platform there is big screen were passengers to get to see running status of their trains and on which platform their train is coming. Its very useful as there are dozens of trains arriving at station at a single time and to keep up with their location these big display screens are very useful. As the inquiry counters are mostly flooded with people and there is a chance you miss the announcement at a Delhi Railway station because of the heavy noise of locomotives & crowds. These Display boards also tells passengers anout the platform number on which train is coming. you know how much this information is helpful when there are 16 platforms at a station.
