A daily special train service has been introduced between Gaya and Madhupur from August 2 to August 17. This initiative by the railways aims to facilitate the large number of pilgrims traveling during the ongoing Shrawani Mela.
The Gaya-Madhupur Shrawani Mela Special will depart from Gaya at 5:00 PM, arriving in Madhupur at 2:20 AM the following day. The return journey commences from Madhupur at 2:50 AM, reaching Gaya by noon.
This additional service is a response to the significant increase in passenger demand during the month-long Shrawani Mela, which sees thousands of devotees journeying to Deoghar and surrounding pilgrimage sites. This new train complements the 12 pairs of Shrawani Mela special trains already operating across the East Central Railway zone.
Enhanced arrangements have been implemented at key railway stations to manage the surge in footfall and ensure the smooth transit of pilgrims throughout the festival period.
