While the entire country is getting ready for the festival of colours, Holi, the Indian Railways is operating several Holi special trains. The special services will be operated in order to ease up the rush of passengers travelling during the Holi festival. The Northern Railway has stated that the zone will be running a total of 46 train trips to various destinations across the country. Railways will run trains on Chandigarh-Gorakhpur, New Delhi-Barauni, Lucknow-Kolkata, Katihar-Firozepur, and Chhapra-Delhi routes, among others. Northern Railway on its website said, “In order to clear the extra rush of passengers, during Holi festival-2019, railways have decided to run the Holi special trains.”
