trains are completely full, and the situation is worsening with more people booking train tickets daily due to the upcoming festivals. This includes Samata Express, Udhampur Express, and Chhattisgarh Express heading to Delhi. The waiting list for trains to Patna during Chhath Puja, like the Sarnath and South Bihar trains, are also increasing. Special trains are also crowded due to the influx of people traveling back home. The demand for tickets has led to a scramble for bookings for special trains heading to Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Odisha. While two special trains were announced for Chhath Puja, even those are now full. Trains like the Sarnath, South Bihar Express, and Gondia Express have waiting lists in the range of 59 to 110 for sleeper classes. The waiting list is expected to increase further in the coming days.

waiting list hai. Lamba safar wali express trains puri bhar gayi hain, aur har din zyada log tickets book kar rahe hain, isliye halat aur bhi kharab ho rahe hain. Isme Delhi jaane wali Samata Express, Udhampur Express, aur Chhattisgarh Express bhi shamil hain. Chhath Puja ke samay mein Patna jaane wali trains, jaise Sarnath aur South Bihar trains, mein bhi waiting list badh raha hai. Special trains bhi logon ki bheed se bhari hue hain kyunki har koi apne ghar jaane ki taiyari kar raha hai. Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, aur Odisha jaane wali special trains ke tickets ke liye bahut bheed hai. Chhath Puja ke liye 2 special trains ka announcement kiya gaya tha, par wo bhi ab full ho gayi hain. Sarnath, South Bihar Express, aur Gondia Express jaise trains mein sleeper class mein 59 se 110 tak waiting list hai. Aane waale dino mein yeh aur bhi badhegi.
