Railways to run special trains for Diwali and Chhath festivals

Indian Railways has taken proactive measures to handle the expected increase in passenger volume during the upcoming festive season. Authorities have confirmed the deployment of additional special trains to ensure smooth travel for millions of commuters.

The decision comes as travelers across the country prepare for the major religious observances of Diwali and Chhath. These festivals traditionally see a significant spike in rail travel, particularly on routes connecting major urban centers with smaller towns and villages.

By introducing these extra services, the railway administration aims to alleviate congestion at major stations and provide adequate seating and standing capacity for returnees. The special trains are expected to operate on key corridors where demand is historically highest during this period.

Passengers are advised to check the latest schedules and availability of these special services through official railway channels to plan their journeys effectively.
