Railways Step Up Arrangements for Chhath Puja Rush

Northern Railway has strengthened passenger facilities at major Delhi railway stations ahead of Chhath Puja, anticipating a heavy rush of travellers heading towards eastern India.

A permanent passenger holding area has been opened at Anand Vihar Terminal this year, alongside an additional temporary facility. Both areas offer ticket counters, toilets, food stalls, automatic ticket vending machines and passenger assistance booths.

Northern Railway CPRO Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay said senior officials are closely monitoring passenger movement. Additional special trains will also be arranged whenever required to manage the festive rush.
