To help people travel comfortably after the Holi festival, Indian Railways is running 58 special trains from different parts of the country. These trains are being introduced because many people travel right after Holi to return home or visit family, which usually leads to very busy stations and crowded trains.
The special services are meant to ease this rush and make travel easier for passengers.
Special Services to Reduce Overcrowding
These special trains will run on routes connecting important stations across several states. The exact schedules and stops may vary, but they are designed to serve areas with heavy traffic and long lines after the festival period. The idea behind these extra trains is to reduce crowding and long waits, especially on popular routes that see many travellers during the festival season. Instead of only relying on regular trains, these special trains will operate on specific dates in March, offering more seats and better options for people heading back after the holiday.
Railway officials have also asked passengers to check train schedules and seat availability in advance, as demand is expected to be high. Many people plan their return trips around Holi, so booking early will help avoid last-minute problems.
Moreover, the railways are also boosting security and passenger assistance at major stations. More staff and Railway Protection Force personnel are being deployed to guide crowds, manage queues, and help travellers by providing information.
