India is all set to go into festive mode with the arrival of summer's Navratri and Chaiti Chhath. Both festivals are widely celebrated in India, especially in UP, Bihar, and Jharkhand. While it is not necessary that people head back to their native hometowns to celebrate these festivals, Indian Railways has made sure that people traveling from Delhi to Patna do not face any problems. What is worth noting that Indian Railways have resumed New Delhi-Patna Vande Bharat Trains as a festival special. As per reports, starting this Saturday, a special Vande Bharat Express will run from Delhi to Patna. Additionally, special trains will be available from Delhi to various cities in Bihar, including Saharsa, Bhagalpur, and Katihar.
