Anticipating the festive rush, Western Railway has rolled out an extensive plan at Surat and Udhna stations to ensure smooth travel, enhanced safety and better crowd management.

With long queues already forming at Udhna, officials have moved swiftly to prevent chaos and discomfort. “We successfully handled massive crowds during Diwali and Chhath Puja. Similar — and in some cases stronger — arrangements have been made for Holi,’ a senior Western Railway official said.
