Indian Railways has deployed five special trains on the Katni–Katni Murwara line on Raksha Bandhan to ease crowding, with extra security personnel at both stations.
Indian Railways announced the operation of five special trains on the Katni‑Katni Murwara corridor for Raksha Bandhan, a festival that traditionally sees a surge of passengers traveling to their hometowns.
The additional services are scheduled to run on 8 August, covering the key stations of Katni and Katni Murwara, and are intended to reduce long waiting times and severe crowding on regular trains.
To ensure passenger safety, railway authorities have deployed extra security forces at both Katni and Katni Murwara stations, monitoring crowds and assisting travelers.
Officials expect the special trains to provide relief to thousands of devotees heading home for the celebration, while also maintaining smooth operations on the regular schedule.
