“We are adding more ticket counters and staff members. Down trains are being given extra attention. There are more special trains this year than there were last,” he continued.

Out of the 63 pairs of special trains going through the division, 17 pairs were operating from Gorakhpur Jn. 109 extra carriages have been added to trains due to the rush.
