Due to the high demand for special trains, Indian Railways has decided to utilize empty train rakes that have been idle for 48 hours or more as special trains. This initiative aims to address the shortage of rakes, especially during peak travel seasons. The decision was made in response to the...

increasing number of special trains being operated, particularly in the summer season. The order to use idle rakes as special trains has been issued to all zonal railways, including the Northeast Frontier Railway. This move is expected to ease congestion on popular routes, as there are currently many trains that only operate once a week and remain idle for the rest of the time. The Northeast Frontier Railway, for example, has around 15 rakes that remain idle for 48 hours or more. These rakes will now be deployed on routes with high passenger demand. The number of special trains operated in April 2024 has already surpassed the total number of special trains operated in April 2023 by 12 times. In total, Indian Railways will operate a record 9111 special trains this summer, up from 6369 last year. This increase in train trips is aimed at meeting the growing demand for travel. The Northeast Frontier Railway is operating 92 summer special trains on 1200 trips and 67 additional special trains on 472 trips.

Special trains ki demand bahut zyada hai, toh Indian Railways ne 48 ghante ya usse zyada samay se khari rehne wali empty train rakes ko special trains banaane ka faisla liya hai. Ye step rakes ki kami ko dur karne ke liye hai, khaas kar peak travel season mein. Ye faisla...

summer season mein badhti hui special trains ki badhti demand dekhte hue liya gaya. Sabhi zonal railways, Northeast Frontier Railway ke saath, ko idle rakes ko special train ke roop mein chalane ka order diya gaya hai. Isse popular routes pe bheed kam hone ki ummid hai, kyunki aise bahut saare trains hain jo sirf hafta mein ek din chalte hain aur baaki samay khali khade rehte hain. Northeast Frontier Railway ke pass 18 aise rakes hain jo 48 ghante ya usse zyada samay se khali rehte hain. In rakes ko ab zyada passenger demand wale routes pe chalaya jaayega. April 2024 mein chalayi gayi special trains ki number April 2023 ke total special trains se 12 times zyada hai. Is saal Indian Railways record 9111 special trains chalayegi, jo ki last year ke 6369 special trains se zyada hai. Isme badhti hui travel demand ko meet karna 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...
