होली : पर्व मनाने के बाद वापसी करने वालों की बढ़ी भीड़, अगले कई दिनों तक ट्रेनों में नहीं है जगह

After Holi celebrations, a large number of passengers returning to their destinations crowded long-distance trains on Wednesday. Trains heading towards New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, Puri, Howrah, and Jaipur were packed. People thronged reservation counters hoping for Tatkal tickets, which were exhausted within minutes, leaving many stranded and forced...

to travel by roadways buses. The sheer volume of returning passengers is evident in the 'no room' situation reported for trains for the next two to three days, with even waitlist tickets unavailable. A passenger at Prayagraj Junction, V.K. Dwivedi, stated that he reached the station at 8:00 am to book a Tatkal ticket for Delhi, but the quota was exhausted by 10:00 am when the booking opened. Another passenger, Rakesh Srivastava from Naini, expressed disappointment at the lack of confirmed berths on any train to Delhi or Anand Vihar despite the railway's claim of running sufficient special trains.

Holi ke baad, ghar lautne wale yaatriyon ki bheed Wednesday ko long-distance trains mein bahut zyada thi. New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, Puri, Howrah aur Jaipur jaane wali trains saari packed thi. Tatkal ticket ki aasha mein log reservation counters par pahunche, lekin kuchh hi minutes mein unka waitlist...

ho gaya. Isse nirasha hone par log roadwase buses se safar karne ko majboor hue. Next 2-3 din tak saari trains mein no room ki situation hai, waitlist ticket bhi yaatriyon ko available nahi hai. Prayagraj Junction par Delhi ke liye Tatkal ticket karwane aaye V.K. Dwivedi ne bataya ki woh subah 8:00 baje hi station par pahunche the. 10:00 baje jab tatkal ka reservation shuru hua to kuchh hi minutes mein tatkal ticket khatam ho gaye. Naini ke Rakesh Shrivastava ne bataya ki railway ki taraf se special trains chalane ka daava kiya ja raha hai, lekin unhe Delhi ya Anand Vihar ke liye kisi bhi train mein confirm berth nahi mili.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
