Railways’ plan for Durga Puja rush: Special trains on key routes to Bengal

Indian Railways plans to introduce special trains on key routes to Bengal during the Durga Puja festive season, which is expected to see a surge in passenger demand. The Eastern Railway, in particular, is taking the initiative to manage the increased travel requirements, with the zonal railway announcing revised timings for reservation offices and confirming the operation of additional services on routes likely to witness higher demand.

The Delhi-Howrah and Mumbai-Howrah routes are among the most affected, with waitlists and REGRET status indicating the high demand for Bengal-bound trains ahead of the festival.
