Welcome to Bookezy our railway reservation website, where booking train tickets has never been easier. Our platform offers a simple and efficient way for users to book tickets online, while also providing station masters with the tools they need to effectively manage their stations. With the added capability for admins to easily add new stations and station masters, our website offers a comprehensive solution for all your railway reservation needs. This project was built for a hackathon named Bhilai Hacks by our team named Entityđź’Ş

Comment the line once the tables are created so that new tables are not created again and again whenever you perform an action.
