The Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Central Railway announces that 20 more Ganpati special train services would be run in addition to the 202 Ganpati special train services already announced. This is a great news for those who wants to go home to attend Ganesh Chaturthi but was not getting reservation. But starting from this Wednesday everyone will get confirmed tickets in these trains.
Ganesh Utsav is on the cards and everyone knows about the pomp and the grand nature of the celebrations in Maharashtra. It is often found that the people who want to visit the state for the celebrations or migrants who want to go to their home states during this period are unable to do so because of the high rush for train reservations.
To ease the process, Central Railway has decided to start ‘Ganpati special trains’ from many cities of Maharashtra for the convenience of passengers. Reservation in these trains is going to start from Wednesday, and now the certainty of the getting confirmed tickets increases.
The CPRO of the Central Railway announced that in addition to the 202 Ganpati special train services, which were already announced, it has been decided to run 20 more Ganpati special train services.
