As the diwali festival holidays commence, Gujarat’s railway stations are experiencing an enormous surge in travelers, creating bustling scenes as people rush to catch trains home. Thousands of passengers are crowding into stations across the state, eager to reunite with families and celebrate the festival of lights. This annual exodus reflects the deep cultural significance of diwali, as people travel from cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, and vadodara to their hometowns or villages.
The scenes at the stations are chaotic, with long queues at ticket counters, crowded platforms, and people loaded with festive bags and gifts, all hoping to catch their trains on time. Despite the rush, the atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation for the holiday season.
The state’s railway authorities and local administration have implemented additional measures to accommodate this surge in holiday travelers, including special trains, increased platform staff, and intensified security checks. Extra trains have been arranged on popular routes to manage the increased passenger load, but with seats booked well in advance, many travelers are still facing challenges securing tickets.
Railway staff are working round-the-clock to ensure smooth operations, while additional security personnel have been deployed to manage the crowd and ensure passenger safety. Despite these measures, overcrowding on platforms and inside trains remains a concern, and authorities are urging passengers to arrive early and stay vigilant to avoid mishaps.
