Delhi was filled within five minutes, leaving many passengers stranded. Sources suggest that ticket touts used restricted software to snatch up the tatkal seats. To alleviate the pressure, an additional 5200 tatkal seats are available on special trains for return journeys after Holi, with bookings starting on Tuesday morning. These special trains also have over 2500 vacant seats available.

Holi pe ghar jaane walon ki bheed Saturday sham ko Charbagh railway station pe juti to railway administration ke hath paaon fool gaye. Aanan-fanan mein har platform pe aane wali trains mein suraksha balon ki nigrani mein yaatri dhakka mukki karte chadte nazar aaye. Sham kareeb saadhe paanch baje platform number...

Ravivaar ko Lucknow se Mumbai aur Delhi jaane wali trains ke liye tatkal quota ki seaton pe booking ke liye Saturday subah aaraksan kendron pe pahunche. Yahaan Pune Express, Pushpak, Kushinagar, Lucknow Mail, AC Express aadi trains mein tatkal quota ki kareeb 490 seaten khali thi. Magar tatkal quota khulte matra paanch minute mein seaten full ho gayi. Saikadon yaatriyon ko bairang lautna pada.
