will be extended to Sultan Ganj. Additionally, all mail, express, and passenger trains stopping at Jasidih station for less than 5 minutes will now have extended halts. The Shravani Mela, a significant pilgrimage, draws millions of devotees to offer water at the Baba Baidyanath Dham temple, with some even traveling from overseas. To further ease congestion, the railways are also planning to operate six special trains between various locations, including Jaynagar-Asansol, Raxoul-Devghar, Gaya-Madhupur, Patna-Madhupur, Saraygarh-Devghar, and Gorakhpur-Devghar, starting July 22nd.
