In a bid to accommodate the surge in passenger traffic during the upcoming festive season, Railways has announced the introduction of unreserved festival special express trains connecting Puri, the sacred abode of Lord Jagannath, with key terminals in New Delhi.
These temporary services aim to ease the strain on regular routes, ensuring smoother journeys for devotees, families, and holidaymakers heading north for Diwali and other celebrations.
The initiative includes a round-trip unreserved special between Anand Vihar Terminal and Puri, alongside a one-way express from Puri to Hazrat Nizamuddin, strategically routed to cover major junctions and provide affordable travel options.
