In order to reduce the rush of the passengers for travel during the occasion of Deepavali, it has been decided to operate more than 8 trains.
The Deepavali festival falls on Sunday, 27th October. The previous Saturday is declared a holiday. So, it is expected most of the traveling public will start fro their native places on Friday night itself (25th October).
They are prepared to do the advance reservation for the trains/buses.
Southern Railway has decided to operate special trains for this occasion.
The special trains will operate to Sengottai, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Nagercoil, Coimbatore, and Salem.
