To manage the increasing passenger rush during Chhath Puja, Indian Railways has decided to operate a special train between Ramnagar and Patliputra (Patna). This Puja special train aims to provide significant relief to thousands of commuters traveling to and from Bihar and Purvanchal regions during the festive season.

According to the railway authorities, the special train will run for three trips from Ramnagar to Patliputra between November 7 and November 21. For the return journey, it will operate for three trips from Patliputra to Ramnagar between November 8 and November 22, completing a total of six rounds.

The train departing from Ramnagar will start at 5:50 AM, reaching Patliputra the following day at 7:35 AM. En route, it will pass through Mailani at 2:00 PM, Gola at 2:30 PM, and Lakhimpur at 3:00 PM. It will then continue via Sitapur, Gonda, and Basti.

On its return journey from Patliputra, the train will depart at 9:45 AM and arrive at Ramnagar by 12:35 PM the next day. During this leg, it will pass through Lakhimpur at 3:23 AM, Gola at 3:53 AM, and Mailani at 4:15 AM.

This special service is expected to alleviate the common issues of seat unavailability and long waiting lists in regular trains during the Chhath festival, offering passengers a more comfortable and convenient travel option.
