Indian Railways will operate a Chhath Puja special train on four dates between Bilaspur and Chhapra to manage the surge of pilgrims.
The Ministry of Railways announced a special service to cater to the expected increase in passenger traffic during Chhath Puja. A dedicated train will run between Bilaspur and Chhapra, covering the route in both directions.
The service is scheduled for four days – 14, 15, 21 and 22 November – with a total of four round trips. Timings have been set to align with the peak hours of worshippers travelling to the ghats.
Railway officials said the move aims to provide a comfortable and timely travel option for devotees, reducing congestion on regular services. Tickets will be made available through the usual reservation channels.
The special train is part of a broader effort by Indian Railways to support major religious festivals across the country, ensuring safety and convenience for pilgrims.
Authorities will monitor passenger flow and may adjust the schedule if required, but the current plan is to maintain the four-day operation as announced.
