Air India crash spurs special train services

After the heartbreaking Air India crash near Meghaninagar, which involved 242 people—including former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani—the Railway Board has stepped in to help. To manage the sudden rush of travelers and ease congestion, they're rolling out special trains so people have more ways to get where they need to go.

TL;DR

Two Superfast Special trains from Ahmedabad

Western Railway is running two Superfast Special trains from Ahmedabad—one heading to Delhi and the other to Mumbai. These are one-time trips with special fares under the Train on Demand scheme, aimed at helping passengers affected by the travel disruptions right after the crash.
