Voice 9, Kolkata: Indian Railways is presenting a fantastic gift for passengers this time around the Sraboni Mela in Tarakeshwar. The purpose of the Sraboni Mela in Tarakeshwar is now to attract a huge gathering of devotees. For pilgrims, the easiest and most comfortable mode of transportation to reach Tarakeshwar is by train rather than by road. Therefore, thousands of devotees are flocking to Tarakeshwar by train instead of the road, making the journey more convenient and comfortable.
To further increase convenience for sightseers and to accommodate the growing crowd, Eastern Rail has introduced a new set of special local trains. This not only increases the railway's revenue but also provides passengers with a more comfortable journey. As a result, no one has to push or rush to catch the train in the crowd.
For the special days of the Sraboni Mela in Tarakeshwar, Eastern Rail has decided to run an additional 4 pairs of EMU special trains between Howrah and Tarakeshwar and Shyambazar and Tarakeshwar. This decision has been made especially for pilgrims who come from far and wide, including other cities, districts, and states, so that they can visit the temple and quickly return home. It is known that the total number of passengers at the Tarakeshwar Sraboni Mela has increased by 59.35% in the past year. Additionally, due to the increased ticket sales, the total revenue of the railway has increased by 107.77%.
As a result, additional UTS counters have already been opened. Moreover, during peak times, RPF and commercial department employees assist passengers in boarding the train. Crowd control is being managed at the station, with additional ticket-checking staff, RPF, and voluntary civil defense personnel. Even medical teams and ambulances have been prepared for any emergencies.
