The reservation counters will remain open 24 hours so that the passengers returning after Chhath festival do not face any kind of problem. Additionally, additional Chhath special trains will be run and if needed, extra rakes will also be called from Delhi.

On Monday, the next day of Chhath, GM had reached Patna Junction, where he took stock of the passenger facilities provided by PUMRE on the occasion of Chhath festival.

Khandelwal told that a war room of officers has been made at the junction, where he himself is monitoring it in real time. GM took stock of crowd management, cleanliness, passenger safety and other facilities. He took feedback from the passengers and directed the officers to remain constantly alert for passenger facilities. He told that passengers returning after celebrating Chhath are being given free food packets and water bottles.

This arrangement will continue for a few days. GM also appealed to the passengers not to carry inflammable substances during the journey. A team of Railway Protection Force has been formed to keep a special watch on those traveling with inflammable substances and smoking beedis and cigarettes in trains.
