Passengers expected to increase three to four times
According to railway officials, 32 pairs of trains are being run for Ayodhya. About 25 thousand passengers travel through them. After Pran Pratistha, the number of passengers may increase from 75 thousand to one lakh. In such a situation, the number of trains is also being increased.
