15 Pairs of Special Trains Launched for Chhath Festival in Jalandhar

Indian Railways has scheduled fifteen pairs of special festival trains to serve devotees observing Chhath in the Jalandhar region. The additional services are aimed at easing travel congestion as thousands of pilgrims move between their hometowns and the banks of the Ganga and other sacred sites. The trains are operating on a temporary basis, coinciding with the main days of the Chhath puja, and will be withdrawn once the festival concludes. Railway officials said the special runs are part of a broader effort to support religious tourism across the country. Passengers are advised to book tickets in advance as seats are expected to fill quickly.
