During the Rakhi festival, many people travel by train to be with their families. This year, at Secunderabad Railway Station, trains were extremely crowded, especially the Narayanadri Superfast Express. Passengers faced a tough time as they had to travel in packed conditions, with little room to sit or even stand comfortably.

Overcrowding Due to Festival Rush

As the festival approached, many passengers started their journeys late at night from Secunderabad. Trains like the Narayanadri Superfast Express, which travels between Secunderabad and Tirupati, were filled with more passengers than usual. Because of this, the general compartments were overcrowded, making the journey uncomfortable for many.

Passengers’ Complaints

Many passengers were upset about the situation. They felt that there were not enough general compartments to handle the large number of travelers. Some even suggested that the railway should add more general compartments during busy times like the Rakhi festival.

Railways’ Efforts During Festivals

The South Central Railway usually runs special trains during big festivals to help with the extra crowd. For example, during the Ugadi festival, they added extra trains. However, this time during Rakhi, many passengers felt that the railway did not do enough to manage the crowd, leading to uncomfortable travel conditions.

Conclusion

The Rakhi festival highlighted the problem of overcrowded trains during important festivals. It’s clear that more general compartments or extra trains are needed to ensure a comfortable journey for everyone. Passengers hope that the railway will take their concerns seriously and make improvements for future travel during festival times.
