Delhi-Bihar Train Rush: Tickets Vanishing Ahead of Diwali & Chhath Puja!
The festive season is rapidly approaching, and for thousands of passengers, the journey home is becoming a major challenge. Indian Railways is reporting an intense scramble for passenger train tickets on the critical route from Delhi to Bihar.
The Festive Scramble for Seats
With the major festivals of Diwali and Chhath Puja just around the corner, the demand for rail travel has reached a fever pitch. Passengers are finding it increasingly difficult to secure confirmed bookings, particularly for those aiming to travel during the first week of November.
Key Details of the Ticket Shortage
The surge in demand is impacting the corridor significantly, with several key issues reported:
- Severe Scarcity: Ticket availability for the Delhi-Bihar corridor has tightened considerably.
- Peak Travel Window: The most intense pressure is being felt for travel dates surrounding the upcoming festivities.
- Widespread Berth Shortage: Scarcity of berths is being observed across major train routes connecting the national capital to various destinations in Bihar.
While this surge in demand is a recurring seasonal trend, the current scarcity of berths across major routes is creating significant hurdles for travelers.
