Bhopal: Particularly during this festive season, the coming celebrations are Diwali, Chhath Puja and Karwa Chouth in some time. During such occasions, individuals who live far from their kin go to their homes to celebrate with their family members. This results in increased passenger traffic hence making it impossible to contain the large turn of trains. To overcome this, Indian Railways has always declared special trains in the festive season in order to avoid inconvenience to the people.
As per this tradition, the Railways has now informed a number of new special trains that will run through the different stations in the Bhopal division to reach out to and cater for the interest of people inside Bhopal city.
