Travelers face challenges finding affordable transport home for Holi

Many travelers are struggling to find affordable ways to return home for Holi due to a lack of train tickets and high airfares. Train cancellations and long waiting lists have left people like Mukul Tiwari considering private vehicles for their journeys. Railway officials reported that the Danapur Express was canceled due to overcrowding, and other trains to northern states also have limited availability. Some families, like Gyanesh Vartak's, are disappointed by the lack of Kumbh special trains. In response to the demand, officials announced 28 special trains for Holi, with plans for more. Travelers are exploring various transportation options, including buses and multi-step journeys, to reach their destinations.
