The railway arrangements are impressive - 12,000 special trains! My family is traveling from Mumbai to Bihar for Chhath, and the holding areas at stations are really helpful. Good planning by authorities.

While the arrangements sound good, I hope they maintain these facilities properly throughout the festival. Last year, the toilets at some ghats were not well-maintained after the first day. Proper monitoring is key.
