What’s inside:
This article discusses the impact of Durga Puja on train bookings, particularly from Ranchi to various destinations.
Durga Puja is here, and it’s already affecting train services. All reserved seats in trains leaving from Ranchi are fully booked. If you plan to travel to Howrah, you won’t find any available seats from September 27 to 29.
Currently, trains like the Hatia-Howrah Kriyayog Express, Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, and Ranchi-Howrah Intercity Express have no reserved seats left during this period. This situation is similar for trains running between Ranchi and Patna.
As a result, getting reserved tickets for long-distance trains during the festival season is proving to be quite challenging. On Friday, Ranchi station was crowded with passengers, as many are already heading to their destinations for the festival.
Moreover, the Ranchi railway division is running over 14 special trains for the festival. However, even these special trains are seeing a high demand, making it hard for passengers to get seats.
With the ongoing rush, it’s expected that the crowd at Ranchi station will continue to grow over the weekend. Travelers should plan their journeys accordingly and consider booking tickets well in advance.
Summary:
- All reserved seats from Ranchi are fully booked for Durga Puja.
- No seats are available in trains to Howrah from September 27 to 29.
- Crowds are increasing at Ranchi station as people travel for the festival.
- More than 14 special trains are running, but seats are still hard to find.
- Travelers are advised to book tickets in advance due to high demand.
