Northern Railway to Run Three Special Festival Trains via Jammu Division
Northern Railway's Jammu division will operate three pairs of special reserved trains from October to December to manage increased passenger demand during festivals like Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath Puja. These trains will connect key locations including Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Jammu Tawi, Varanasi, and New Delhi, with multiple weekly trips and stops at major stations. The initiative aims to ease ticket availability, reduce waiting lists, and provide safer, more comfortable travel for passengers across northern India.
