Railways announces special trains to support passengers stranded due to nationwide flight disruptions
Indian Railways has introduced special trains on key routes to assist passengers stranded by large scale flight disruptions across the country. The decision aims to provide urgent travel alternatives as airports struggle with delays and cancellations.
Indian Railways has announced a series of special trains to help thousands of passengers who have been stranded due to massive nationwide flight disruptions. With airlines facing operational breakdowns that led to widespread delays and cancellations, the Railways stepped in to manage the surge in travel demand and provide an immediate alternative for affected travellers.
Officials stated that the special trains will run on high demand routes where stranded passengers are currently facing the most difficulty. Additional coaches are also being attached to several existing long distance trains to increase capacity. The move is aimed at reducing overcrowding at major railway stations and ensuring that passengers have reliable travel options.
To streamline the process, Railways has coordinated with airport authorities to assist passengers in reaching nearby stations using shuttle services and help desks. Dedicated counters have been set up at select stations to handle last minute ticket requests and provide updated travel schedules.
Railway officials noted that passenger flow has increased sharply due to the ongoing disruptions in the aviation sector. The introduction of special trains is expected to ease pressure on both airports and rail networks as travellers look for alternative ways to reach their destinations.
The Railways has assured that more special services will be added if required. Monitoring teams are tracking passenger demand in real time to decide on additional routes and capacity adjustments.
The move has provided relief to many passengers who were stranded at airports for hours. Authorities have advised travellers to check updated train schedules and availability before planning their onward journey.
