the surge in passenger demand during the summer season, the board has instructed all zonal railways, including the Northeast Railway, to utilize these idle rakes as special trains on busy routes. The Northeast Railway has identified approximately 15 rakes that remain idle for 48 hours or more. These rakes will now be deployed on heavily trafficked routes. This year, the number of special trains operated in April has increased 12-fold compared to last year. In April 2023, only 100 special train trips were run, while this year, over 1200 trips have already taken place. For the summer season, the Railways will be operating a record 9111 special train trips, significantly higher than the 6369 trips run last year. The increase of 2742 trips is intended to meet the increased passenger demand. The Northeast Railway is operating 92 summer special trains in 1200 trips from various stations, along with 67 special trains in 472 trips across different stations.

mein ek din chalti hai aur baaki time yard mein khari rehti hai. Inki rek ka use kahi aur nahin ho pata hai. Lekin garmi ke season mein bahut zyada bheed hai, toh board ne aise khali rehne wali rek ko zyada bheed wale routes pe special train bana kar chalane ka order diya hai. Ye order Northeast Railway aur saare zonal railway ko diya gaya hai. Northeast Railway mein 12-15 rek aisi hai jo 48 ghanta ya usse zyada samay tak khari rehti hai. Ab inhe bheed bhare routes pe chalaya ja sakega. Is saal April mein 12 guna zyada special train chali hai. 2023 mein sirf 100 special train trips hue the, lekin is saal 1200 se zyada trips ho chuki hai. Garmi ke season mein, Railway 9111 trips special train chalayega, jo ki pichle saal ke 6369 trips se bahut zyada hai. Is saal 2742 zyada trips chalane ka reason passengers ki zyada demand ko fulfill karna hai. Northeast Railway alag-alag stations se 92 summer special train 1200 trips mein chal raha hai, aur 67 special train 472 trips mein chal rahi hai.
