Special Train: On the occasion of Chhath Puja, there was a massive crowd in trains to go to Bihar. Even Tatkal tickets were not available.
Chhath Puja is celebrated with great pomp in UP and Bihar. At this time, people are trying their best to reach their villages and families. However, getting a confirmed ticket on the train becomes very difficult. During Chhath Puja, there were many crowds at all the railway stations and trains. In such a situation, people had to face a lot of problems.
Now, after the conclusion of the great festival Chhath, people coming from outside cannot get tickets. Seats on many trains are total, and people are not getting tickets. Crowds of passengers are being seen at railway stations.
Now, the Railways has decided to run eight special trains on Sunday, November 10, so passengers do not face any problems. Railway CPRO Kapinjal Kishore Sharma said that train number 05744 (Katihar-Chhapra) special will leave from Katihar at 16:00 and reach Chhapra at 00:20 the next day.
Also, train number 07541 (Katihar- Dauram Madhepura) will leave from Katihar at 19:00 and reach Dauram Madhepura at 22:00 the next day. Train number 07540 (Katihar-Manihari) special will leave from Katihar at 20:30 and reach Manihari at 21:30.
