As Holi 2021 approaches, many of you, who stay away from your family, might want to reunite for some festive fun. And to help you with that, the government is planning to run several special trains. The Northern Railway has recently announced as many as 18 pairs of new special trains for the convenience of passengers during Holi. But as there has been a recent surge in coronavirus cases, passengers will have to follow strict COVID-19 rules before boarding these trains.
Northern Railway’s general manager Ashutosh Gangal told ANI, “In anticipation of a huge crowd in trains during Holi, Northern Railway will run 18 pairs of additional trains between March 21 and March 31. 18 pairs of puja special trains have been extended.”
