West Bengal Elections Spark Mass Exodus from Rajasthan: Trains Overflow as Voters Head Home

• West Bengal elections on April 23 are causing a significant movement of Bengali community members from Jaipur and surrounding areas back to their home state.
• Jaipur Junction is witnessing large crowds as people struggle to find seats on trains bound for Kolkata and Sealdah.
• Passengers are relying on Tatkal and general coaches due to difficulty in securing reservations, leading to overcrowded conditions.
• North Western Railway (NWR) is monitoring the situation and plans to run additional trains, with approximately 700 extra trips last year and more planned for this year.
• The increase in train crowds is also attributed to the start of summer vacations, adding to the pressure on railway services.
