Gearing Up for the Festival Rush

As the festival of Holi approaches, Indian Railways is gearing up to ensure a seamless and comfortable journey for passengers with the announcement of 540 additional services. This move comes as a boon for travelers, especially during the festive rush.

Commitment to Passenger Comfort

With a focus on crowd management, railway authorities are leaving no stone unturned to prioritize the smooth flow of commuters at major stations. Notably, this year witnesses an increase of 219 services compared to the previous festive season, reflecting the railways’ commitment to meeting the growing travel demands.

Connecting Key Destinations

The planned services aim to connect pivotal destinations across the nation through well-established railway routes. From Delhi to Patna, Mumbai to Gorakhpur, and Kolkata to Puri, among others, these trains are set to cater to diverse travel needs.

Ensuring Orderliness and Safety

To ensure orderliness, queues are being formed at terminus stations under the vigilant supervision of Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel for the hassle-free entry of passengers into unreserved coaches. Additionally, heightened security measures have been implemented, with additional RPF personnel deployed at major stations to guarantee the safety of travelers.

Preparedness for Operational Disruptions

In anticipation of any operational disruptions, officers are on standby duty at key stations, while staff members are strategically stationed to promptly address any issues that may arise during the journey.

Enhancing Passenger Convenience

Furthermore, steps have been taken to enhance passenger convenience, including frequent and timely announcements of train arrivals and departures, complete with platform details.
