Delhi authorities have introduced an all‑air‑conditioned bus service to Bihar to facilitate Chhath pilgrims amid a shortage of train seats.
The new service is aimed at easing the journey for devotees who usually rely on rail transport, which has been unable to meet the surge in demand during the festival season.
While details such as departure points, frequency and fare structure are yet to be finalized, the initiative is expected to provide a reliable alternative for thousands of pilgrims.
