Holi Travel Chaos: Delhi-Mumbai Trains Fully Booked 2 Months Early, Passengers Stranded

• Holi train tickets from Delhi-Mumbai to Purvanchal/Bihar fully booked two months in advance, causing travel challenges for migrants.
• Popular trains like Purushottam Express, Magadh Express, and Sampark Kranti Express show 'regret' status for all classes.
• Dense fog in North India is causing significant delays, with trains like Tejas Rajdhani and Amrit Bharat Express running hours late.
• Poor cold weather arrangements at DDU Junction, including lack of heaters and bonfires, add to passenger woes, especially for families.
• Passengers are now relying on the railways to run 'Holi Special' trains to manage the festive rush and avoid expensive alternatives.

Why It Matters: Holi travel crunch forces migrants to seek special trains as regular services are fully booked and delayed.
