Grand Gathering at Mahashivratri Kumbh, 350 Trains to Operate from Prayagraj

Prayagraj : A massive crowd of devotees is expected to gather at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj on the occasion of Mahashivratri. To accommodate the large number of pilgrims, Indian Railways has announced the operation of 350 special trains from Prayagraj.

Officials stated that major stations, including Prayagraj Junction, Prayagraj Rambagh, and Subedarganj, will witness increased train operations. Extra staff has been assigned to monitor train schedules and ensure hassle-free journeys. Cleanliness and hygiene have been prioritized, with continuous monitoring at platforms and train compartments.

Devotees arriving from different parts of the country have expressed gratitude for these special arrangements. They believe that these efforts will make their spiritual journey more comfortable. The government has also coordinated with local transport services to facilitate easy movement from railway stations to the Kumbh site.

Authorities have urged passengers to check the schedule of special trains in advance and reach stations early to avoid last-minute rush. The railway helpline numbers are available for any inquiries regarding train timings and facilities.

Mahashivratri is considered an auspicious occasion, and the massive gathering at the Kumbh reflects the deep faith of devotees. The Indian Railways’ proactive approach is expected to provide a seamless travel experience during this grand event.
