hanging from the doors and toilets. Since Holi, a large number of passengers from the northeastern districts of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh have been traveling to Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, Haryana, and Jammu & Kashmir. These passengers are returning to work in industrial units in these areas after their holiday. Due to increased passenger traffic, the railway authorities had introduced these special trains. Several passengers have been tweeting about the crowded conditions and sharing photos of the coach situation. The Anand Vihar Patna Special was delayed by 12.5 hours, the Gaya Special by 8 hours, the Barauni-New Delhi Special by 8 hours, the Udhana Special by 7 hours, the Farakka Express 13483 by 2 hours, and the Mahabodhi Express 12398 by 2 hours. Passengers have reported that special trains are being held at outer stations while other superfast and express trains are allowed to pass. In an unrelated incident, a female passenger named Kusuma fell ill in the sleeper coach of the Marudhar Express. Another passenger tweeted about the incident, and she received medical attention at Central Station. Kusuma's health deteriorated after the train crossed Etawah station.

Passenger ke liye chalaayi ja rahi special train bahut der se aa rahi hain aur bhari bhari hain. Yaatriyon ko yeh sab dekhkar pareshani ho rahi hai kyunki yeh train kab aayengi, kab jaayengi, kuchh pata nahin hai. Mangalwar ko, ek dozen se bhi zyada train bahut der se aayi. In...

train ke sleeper aur general coach mein khud jaane ki bhi jagah nahin hai. Yaatri toilet aur gate par latak kar travel karne ko majbur hain. Holi ke baad se Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal aur Uttar Pradesh ke purvaottar ke district se bahut sare yaatri Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, Haryana, aur Jammu Kashmir jaa rahe hain. Yeh yaatri in district ke industrial unit mein kaam karte hain, aur chutti mein apne ghar jaate hain. Train mein bheed badhne ke karan, railway ne yeh special train chalaayi thi. Bahut sare yaatri coach ke haalat aur bheed ki photo bhi tweet kar rahe hain. Anand Vihar Patna Special 12.5 ghanta, Gaya Special 8 ghanta, Barauni-New Delhi Special 8 ghanta, Udhana Special 7 ghanta, Farakka Express 13483 2 ghanta, aur Mahabodhi Express 12398 2 ghanta late thi. Yaatriyon ne tweet mein likha hai ki special train ko outer station par rok kar, dusri superfast aur express train ko pass karaya ja raha hai. Ek alag incident mein, Marudhar Express ke sleeper coach mein ek mahila yaatri Kusuma ki tabiyat kharab ho gayi. Coach ke dusre yaatri ne is baat ka tweet kiya, aur unko Central Station par ilaaj mila. Kusuma ki tabiyat Etawah station cross karne ke baad kharab hui.

    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...
