Chhath Special Trains: The grand festival of Chhath has begun across the country today, October 25th. This festival will continue to be celebrated until October 28th. Many people living away from home travel home for Chhath and return to work after celebrating Chhath. Some people take leave for Chhath, but most of them travel by train. Railways has released the schedule for 6181 special trains for those returning home after Chhath Puja.
This will ensure easy and safe travel for those returning to work after the festival. This step has been taken in view of the heavy rush of passengers travelling to Bihar and Purvanchal during Chhath. A large number of people leave for their homes from various parts of the country, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Amritsar, and several other major cities. The Railways have planned to run additional trains in addition to regular trains. Find out the full details of when and where these trains will depart.
