East Central Railway has announced a significant decision to facilitate devotees and Kanwariyas traveling to Baba Dham during Shravani Mela 2026. The railway has provided a two-minute temporary halt for train number 15619/15620 Gaya-Kamakhya-Gaya Express at Sultanaganj station. This measure has been taken considering the millions of devotees who annually undertake the pilgrimage to Baba Baidyanath Dham, carrying holy Ganges water from Sultanaganj during the Shravani Mela.

The halt of this express train at Sultanaganj station will also benefit passengers traveling between Gaya and Kamakhya, especially those on pilgrimage during the fair. This facility will help Kanwariyas reach Sultanaganj directly and commence their journey from there, making their travel more convenient and comfortable. This decision by the railway is a positive step towards managing the crowd during Shravani Mela and providing better facilities to the passengers.
