Chhath Puja is just around the corner and people are booking tickets for Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Keeping this in mind, the North Western Railway has announced plans to add additional coaches on several special trains. All these trains will be operated from major cities of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
“With the addition of the coaches in these trains, the pressure of the passengers will be reduced on the current trains and more berths will be available for commuters to travel comfortably,” said a senior officer of the Indian Railways.
The officer said that an additional AC coach is also being temporarily added to the Durg-Ajmer-Durg weekly special train connecting Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
