Rajasthan Launches Special Trains to Ease Rakhis Rush from Kota to Delhi, Jabalpur, Mathura

Indian Railways has introduced special services to handle the increased passenger load expected during Raksha Bandhan. The new trains will run from Kota Junction to Delhi, Jabalpur and Mathura, covering major pilgrimage and commercial routes. According to the railway authorities, the special services will operate on a daily basis throughout the festival period, with additional coaches added to existing trains.

The decision comes after a review of passenger demand patterns, which showed a significant rise in bookings for the festival. By adding extra capacity, the railways aim to reduce overcrowding and improve safety on the busy corridors. Passengers can book tickets through the official IRCTC portal or at any railway reservation counter.

Travelers heading to Delhi, Jabalpur or Mathura for family visits or religious duties will benefit from the increased frequency and availability of seats. The special trains are expected to transport thousands of passengers, easing the strain on the existing network during the festive season.
