Chhath passengers face expensive bus fares due to shortage of train tickets

Many passengers travelling from Delhi to their homes to celebrate Chhath Puja are facing difficulties during their journey, according to a report by BBC.

Due to the unavailability of train tickets, many travellers have been forced to travel by bus, resulting in them having to pay expensive fares. Passengers have complained that this situation has arisen because they could not secure tickets in trains.

Some travellers also stated that they managed to obtain train or bus tickets with great difficulty. The experiences of people travelling during the festival season have been difficult.

Chhath Puja is an ancient Hindu festival of Eastern India and southern Nepal. It is primarily celebrated in the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern Uttar Pradesh, as well as in the Koshi, Gandaki, Bagmati, Lumbini, and Madhesh provinces of Nepal. People living in large cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata also celebrate this festival.
