During Holi, it is quite likely that people will take leave from their work and leave for their home. But currently, not all trains are being operated by the Indian Railways as before. With the help of these special trains, you will be able to go to your town or city.
Moreover, Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express will now run five days a week. This train will run from Dibrugarh and go to Delhi via Mughalsarai Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Junction in the town of Mughalsarai, Prayagraj, and Kanpur.
