In a proactive move to address the anticipated surge in travel demand during the summer season, Indian Railways has embarked on a historic endeavor, operating a record-breaking 9111 trips of summer special trains, stated by the Ministry of Railways on Friday. 

The initiative comes in the wake of challenges highlighted in a detailed article published by FPJ on April 18th, shedding light on the struggles of travellers in securing confirmed train tickets.

In response, the railway administration not only announced several additional special trains but also issued a comprehensive press statement on April 19th, outlining the proactive measures being undertaken to alleviate the summer rush.
