यात्रीगण कृपया ध्यान दें! यूपी-बिहार जाने वाली ट्रेनें हुईं फुल, अवध असम एक्सप्रेस में 31 दिसंबर तक वेटिंग

With the festive season approaching, train tickets are filling up rapidly. By the last week of November, most trains are fully booked or have waiting lists. Passengers traveling to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Ludhiana are facing the most difficulty. Trains like the Andaman Express, Punjab Mail, and Awadh Assam Express...

are experiencing waiting lists. The Amritsar-Hazur Sahib Nanded Superfast Express, which runs only on Mondays, is already full for the second week of November. The Punjab Mail to Gwalior is almost fully booked by November 22nd. The Andaman Express to Ludhiana, running only three days a week, is already in a waiting list situation by the end of October. The Awadh Assam Express to Muzaffarpur (Bihar) also has a waiting list until December 31st. Similar situations exist for destinations like Gorakhpur, Jhansi, and Mathura. Railway officials have confirmed that most trains originating from Delhi are nearly fully booked due to the festive season. Passengers planning to travel to Mata Vaishno Devi via train might face a long wait as the Andaman Express to Katra is also almost full until the end of December. With Diwali on October 31st, finding confirmed tickets on most trains is proving to be very difficult. Similarly, people from Bihar might face difficulties traveling home for Chhath Puja, which falls on November 7th. If special trains are not arranged, passengers may face severe issues.

Festival season aane se train ticket bahut jaldi full ho rahe hain. November ke last week tak, almost sab trains full ho gaye hain ya waitlist pe hain. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh aur Ludhiana jaane wale logon ko bahut problem aa rahi hai. Andaman Express, Punjab Mail aur Awadh Assam Express...

jaisi trains pe waitlist chal raha hai. Amritsar-Hazur Sahib Nanded Superfast Express, jo ki sirf Monday ko chalti hai, November ke dusre hafte tak full ho gayi hai. Gwalior jaane wali Punjab Mail bhi 22 November tak almost full ho gayi hai. Ludhiana jaane wali Andaman Express, jo ki hafte mein sirf teen din chalti hai, October ke end tak waitlist pe chal rahi hai. Muzaffarpur (Bihar) jaane wali Awadh Assam Express bhi 31 December tak waitlist pe hai. Gorakhpur, Jhansi aur Mathura jaise jagahon ke liye bhi aisa hi hai. Railway officials ne confirm kiya hai ki Delhi se chalne wali almost sab trains festive season ki wajah se full ho gaye hain. Mata Vaishno Devi jaane wala jo log train se jaana chahte hain, unko bahut wait karna pad sakta hai, kyunki Katra jaane wali Andaman Express December ke end tak almost full ho gayi hai. Diwali 31 October ko hai, aur almost sab trains pe confirm tickets milna bahut mushkil hai. Bihar ke logon ko Chhath Puja, jo ki 7 November ko hai, ke liye ghar jaane mein bhi problem aa sakti hai. Agar special trains nahi chalai gayi, toh passengers ko bahut problems aani pad sakti hai.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
