New Delhi: In a significant move to accommodate travellers for Chhath Puja, Northern Railways is running 40 special trains from various locations in Delhi on Sunday, heading to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and other states. This initiative is aimed at providing relief to the influx of passengers during the festival.
Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay, Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway, announced that Indian Railways will operate a total of 7,435 special trains this year, a substantial increase from last year’s 4,500 trains. To ensure passenger convenience, comprehensive arrangements have been made at railway stations to prevent any inconvenience.
A detailed schedule for the 40 special trains from Northern Railways has been prepared for November 3, featuring AC sleeper and general coaches for passenger comfort.
Those without tickets for reserved coaches can still travel by purchasing unreserved tickets for general coaches. Given the high volume of passengers during the festival, measures are in place to manage seating in general coaches, where travellers are organised into lines to avoid any chaos. Passengers are advised to arrive at the railway station on time to facilitate smooth boarding.
