12 Special Train Pairs to Run via Bhopal Division for Diwali and Chhath

Indian Railways has announced the deployment of twelve pairs of special trains that will transit the Bhopal railway division during the upcoming Diwali and Chhath celebrations. The additional services are aimed at managing the surge in passenger traffic that typically accompanies these festivals.\n\nThe special trains will link major western hubs such as Mumbai and Pune with destinations in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other important cities in the north and east. By routing the extra coaches through Bhopal, the railway seeks to provide a smoother, less congested journey for holiday‑bound travelers.\n\nRailway officials expect the new schedule to alleviate crowding on regular services and reduce wait times at busy stations. Passengers are advised to book tickets early, as the special trains are expected to fill up quickly given the festive travel rush.
