Indian Railways: होली के बाद अब वापसी की चिंता, ट्रेनों में कन्‍फर्म टिकटों की है मारामारी, जानिए कितनी है वेटिंग लिस्ट

After Holi, people who traveled to their villages from Raipur and surrounding areas to celebrate the festival are now facing difficulties returning home. Most long-distance express trains arriving at Raipur station are packed with passengers. As a result, there is a huge demand for confirmed tickets on return trains. Many people...

are returning home on waiting tickets. Railway officials say that trains coming from North India are particularly crowded, and this situation is expected to last for a week. Due to the three to four-day Holi holiday, many people travelled to religious places with their families. There was a large influx of passengers on trains going to Puri, Balaji, Mathura, Vrindavan, Banaras, and Ayodhya. People from various states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Odisha, Maharashtra, and others have returned to their homes. Now, they are facing difficulties finding confirmed tickets for their return journey. Railway officials reported a large number of passengers traveling on trains. Even in the emergency quota of trains running between Durg and Puri, only one ticket was confirmed per two applications. The same situation is observed for express trains traveling to North India. Despite the situation, the railway has added extra coaches to six trains to ease the burden on passengers. Despite the announcement of no blockades on the Bilaspur-Jharsuguda and Katni routes, train delays continue. The Nagpur rail line blockade has also ended, but trains on both sides are delayed by two to three hours. The Hyderabad-Raxul-Secunderabad weekly special train (07051/07052) was initially scheduled to run until March 30th, but it has been extended till July 2nd. The Hyderabad-Raxul weekly special train will depart from Hyderabad every Saturday from April 6th to June 29th. Similarly, the Raxul-Secunderabad weekly special train (07052) will depart from Raxul every Tuesday from April 9th to July 2nd. This train will have a total of 23 coaches, including six AC three-tier, two AC two-tier, one AC first-class cum AC two-tier, 10 sleeper, two general, and two SLR coaches. The Hatia-Durg-Hatia bi-weekly superfast special train (08185/08186) has been extended till June 28th. The Durg-Hatia superfast express will run from Durg to Hatia every Wednesday and Friday from April 3rd to June 28th. Similarly, the Hatia-Durg superfast express will run from Hatia every Tuesday and Thursday from April 2nd to June 27th. According to Raipur Railway Station Director Chandrasekhar Mahapatra, passengers who travelled to their hometowns and religious places during the Holi festival are returning. All trains from North India are returning full. The situation is such that due to the lack of confirmed tickets on these trains, people are having to travel on waiting tickets.

Holi ke baad, Raipur aur aas paas ke area se apne gaon jaane waale log ab waapis aane ki tension mein hain. Raipur station pe, zyadatar lambi duri ki express trains, passengers se bhari hui a rahi hain. Is wajah se, waapis aane wali trains mein confirmed ticket ke liye bahut...

zor laga hua hai. Bahut se log waiting ticket pe ghar laut rahe hain. Railway officials ne kaha hai ki north India se aane wali trains khass kar bhari hui hain, aur yeh haalat 1 hafte tak rehne ki sambhavna hai. Holi ki 3-4 din ki chutti ki wajah se, bahut se log apne parivaar ke saath religious places pe darshan karne gaye the. Puri, Balaji, Mathura, Vrindavan, Banaras, aur Ayodhya jaane wali trains mein bahut zyada passengers the. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Odisha, Maharashtra, aur aise hi aur states ke log apne ghar waapis jaa chuke hain. Ab, unhe apne ghar lautne ke liye trains mein confirmed ticket dhundne mein dikkat ho rahi hai. Railway officials ne bataaya ki trains mein bahut zyada passengers the. Durg aur Puri ke beech chalne wali train mein, waiting zyada nahin thi, par railway ke emergency quota mein bhi, 2 applications pe sirf 1 ticket confirm ho paya. North India jaane wali express trains ki bhi yeh hi haalat hai. Log waha se ghar waapis aane ke liye pareshan ho rahe hain. Halaanki, railway ne aise passengers ki madad karne ke liye 6 se zyada trains mein extra coaches lagaye hain. Bilaaspur-Jharsuguda aur Katni route pe koi blockade nahin hone ke aise aise aise aise aise announcement ke bawajood, trains ki late aa-jaane ki problem abhi bhi jaari hai. Nagpur rail line ka blockade bhi khatam ho chuka hai, lekin dono taraf ki trains apne time se 2-3 ghante late a-ja rahi hain. Train number 07051/07052, Hyderabad-Raxul-Secunderabad weekly special train, pehle 30 March tak chalne wali thi, lekin usko ab 2 July tak extend kar diya gaya hai. Hyderabad-Raxul weekly special train har Saturday ko 6 April se 29 June tak Hyderabad se chalegi. Issi tarah, Raxul-Secunderabad weekly special train (07052) har Tuesday ko 9 April se 2 July tak Raxul se chalegi. Is train mein 23 coaches honge, jisme 6 AC three-tier, 2 AC two-tier, 1 AC first-class cum AC two-tier, 10 sleeper, 2 general, aur 2 SLR coaches honge. Train number 08185/08186, Hatia-Durg-Hatia bi-weekly superfast special train, ko ab 28 June tak extend kar diya gaya hai. Durg-Hatia superfast express har Wednesday aur Friday ko 3 April se 28 June tak Durg se Hatia ke liye chalegi. Issi tarah, Hatia-Durg superfast express har Tuesday aur Thursday ko 2 April se 27 June tak Hatia se chalegi. Raipur railway station ke station director Chandrasekhar Mahapatra ne kaha ki Holi festival ke duran apne ghar aur religious places pe jaane waale passengers ab waapis aa rahe hain. North India se aane wali saari trains bhari hui laut rahi hain. Yeh haalat hai ki in trains mein confirmed ticket nahin hone ki wajah se, log waiting mein safar karne ko majboor hain.

    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...
