Indian Railways Ticketing Update: During the Diwali and Chhath festival season, train and bus passenger traffic has increased. The Indian Railways has issued a major update regarding ticket booking. The Railways has stated that many Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters in Delhi will be closed on Diwali Day, October 20th (Monday). This is due to the Diwali holiday. According to Northern Railways, day and evening shifts will be affected in many areas of Delhi-NCR. However, there is no need to worry; ticket booking will continue at some major stations. Passengers should plan in advance.
