In view of the upcoming festive season, the railway administration has taken a significant step to assist passengers. A weekly Puja Special train has been announced to run between Kanpur Central and Udhna (Surat). The primary objective of this service is to reduce the inconvenience faced by travelers during major festivals such as Durga Puja, Diwali, and Chhath Puja.

According to reports from Amar Ujala, trains experience heavy passenger crowds during the festive period, making it difficult to secure tickets. Keeping this challenge in mind, the railways decided to operate this special train. This service will prove to be a convenient and alternative mode of transport for those traveling between Kanpur and Udhna.

This weekly special train will be operational throughout the festive period. It will provide substantial help to those planning to travel to their homes or workplaces during these celebrations. The railways will soon release detailed information regarding the train's schedule and stoppages so that passengers can plan their journeys in advance.

Railways often operate such special trains to meet the rising demand of passengers during the festive season. The Puja Special train running between Kanpur and Udhna is part of this initiative. The administration believes that the operation of this train will reduce the pressure on regular trains and make travel smoother.

Passengers are advised to check the official railway website or inquiry centers for the latest information regarding their travel. Through this train, efforts are being made to provide a safe and comfortable journey to passengers during the festivals.

This initiative by the railways is particularly relieving for those who travel regularly between Surat and Kanpur. Given the long waiting lists on trains during the festivals, the operation of this special train is being seen as a welcome move.

Further technical details regarding the operation of this train will be shared in the coming days. Passengers are requested to ensure their bookings in advance to avoid the last-minute rush.
