Enhanced crowd management measures, improved station facilities, and additional staff deployment are also part of the preparations to ensure smooth operations during the peak travel period.
Passengers have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and check the updated train schedules on official platforms to avoid last-minute inconveniences. Railway authorities believe that the introduction of these special trains will help ease travel pressure while ensuring safe and comfortable journeys for millions of passengers across the country news as reported.
