नियमित ट्रेनों में लंबी वेटिंग, खाली-खाली दौड़ रही स्पेशल ट्रेन

Indian Railways announced special trains from Asansol to Anand Vihar and Mumbai. These trains pass through Dhanbad. Despite being summer specials, the AC class seats in the Asansol-Mumbai train remained empty. The same situation exists for the Asansol-Anand Vihar train. Experts believe the high fares of these special trains are deterring...

passengers. The special trains to Mumbai cost Rs. 175-420 more than regular trains and Rs. 150-400 more than regular trains to Delhi, resulting in 80-95% empty seats. Even during the wedding season, passenger interest in these special trains is underwhelming. Regular trains to Mumbai and Delhi are fully booked. Despite the summer holidays, passengers are not booking advance tickets for these special trains. The special trains were announced with summer holidays and wedding season in mind. They are scheduled to run from April 17th to May 19th for Mumbai and April 19th to June 28th for Anand Vihar. If the booking situation improves, the railway may consider extending the duration of these trains. Earlier, during Holi, seven special trains from Ranchi and Tatanagar to various Bihar stations, passing through Dhanbad, failed to attract passengers and several trips were canceled due to lack of bookings. Lack of proper publicity is cited as a reason for the poor performance of these special trains.

Indian Railways ne Asansol se Anand Vihar aur Mumbai ke liye special trains ki ghosana ki hai. Ye trains Dhanbad se hoke jaati hain. Summer special hone ke bawjood, Asansol-Mumbai train mein AC class ki seats khali reh gayi. Asansol-Anand Vihar train ka bhi yahi haal hai. Experts ka kehna...

hai ki special trains ka high fare passengers ko raas nahin aa raha. Mumbai ki special train, regular trains se 175-420 rupees zyada aur Delhi ki special train, regular trains se 150-400 rupees zyada hai. Is wajah se special trains mein 80-95% seats khali hain. Shaadi season ke bawjood, passengers ka special trains ke liye interest utsaahjanak nahin hai. Mumbai aur Delhi ki regular trains puri booked hain. Summer holidays ke liye bhi passengers advance booking nahin kar rahe. Summer holidays aur wedding season ko dhyaan mein rakhte hue special trains ki ghosana ki gayi hai. Mumbai ke liye ye train 17 April se 19 May tak aur Anand Vihar ke liye 19 April se 28 June tak chlegi. Agar booking situation achhi rahi toh railway is train ki duration ko badha sakta hai. Pehle Holi ke liye Ranchi aur Tatanagar se Bihar ke different stations ke liye 7 special trains chali thi, jo Dhanbad se hoke jaati thi. In trains ko passengers nahin mile aur booking nahin hone ki wajah se kai trips cancel karne pade. Special trains ki khali rehne ki wajah proper publicity ka nahin hona bataya ja raha hai.
