the first week of November. While the total number of coaches will remain the same, the number of general coaches will increase, providing more space and comfort for general passengers. This will particularly benefit people traveling long distances to places like Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Kolkata, and Bangalore. The increase in general coaches is aimed at making it easier for workers and other ordinary people to travel, especially during the summer holidays and festive seasons when it becomes difficult to get confirmed tickets.
