Indian Railways has introduced 31 special trains departing from Delhi to help devotees travel for Chhath Puja.
Indian Railways announced the addition of 31 special trains that will originate from Delhi during the Chhath Puja period. The extra services are intended to accommodate the surge in passenger demand as devotees travel to the festival sites in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The special trains are scheduled to run on dates that coincide with the main rituals of Chhath, providing additional seating capacity beyond the regular timetable. Railway officials said the move aims to ease congestion on existing routes and ensure smoother, safer journeys for pilgrims. Passengers have been advised to book tickets early to secure seats on the special services.
