New Delhi: In view of the growing rush of passengers travelling to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of eastern India for the Chhath Mahaparv, Northern Railway has arranged to operate 31 special trains from major railway stations in Delhi-NCR. These include additional unreserved trains, which were operated at short notice in response to passenger crowding. The initiative is aimed at reducing the increasing pressure on regular trains and providing passengers with additional options to reach home.
According to the Railways, special trains are being operated from major stations including Anand Vihar Terminal, New Delhi, Shakur Basti, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Delhi Junction and Rohtak. In addition to the already scheduled special trains, six additional unreserved trains were also run on Monday after assessing the passenger rush.
For the convenience of passengers, a permanent holding area has been started at Anand Vihar Terminal. This facility is already available at New Delhi Railway Station. An additional temporary tented holding area has also been set up at Anand Vihar. Unreserved ticket counters, toilets, automatic ticket vending machines, catering stalls and help centres have been made available at these locations.
Northern Railway has deployed additional staff to assist passengers and manage crowds. Senior officials are continuously monitoring arrangements at major stations. The Railways says additional special trains may also be run further, based on passenger numbers and requirements.
