Bhojpuri Star खेसारी लाल यादव Appeals for Special Trains for Chhath

खेसारी लाल यादव Raises Travel Concerns Ahead of Chhath Festival

Famous singer and actor खेसारी लाल यादव has publicly urged both central and state administrations to address severe travel hurdles for citizens travelling home for the Chhath festival. Highlighting the struggles of laborers living far away for employment, the performer pointed out that getting back to native towns during major cultural celebrations remains an immense challenge.

Skyrocketing Air Fares and Unavailable Train Seats

Through a video shared on his official X account, the prominent artist detailed how ordinary individuals are priced out of alternative options. Flight fares have reportedly soared between 30,000 and 40,000 currency units, remaining completely out of reach for regular families. Meanwhile, securing confirmed reservations on regular train services has turned into an impossible task for thousands wanting to join their relatives.

Call for Special Railway Arrangements from Government

Pointing out that political leadership at both central and Bihar state levels is managed by the NDA, the performer emphasized that authorities have a duty to help. Because festival periods witness heavy crowds attempting to head back from industrial states like Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, and West Bengal, the public appeal asks railway administrators to deploy supplementary trains from major urban centers directly into Bihar.

The Cultural Significance of Chhath

Describing the observance as a core element of public faith and emotional connection rather than just a routine holiday, the entertainer noted that ticket shortages force countless people to miss out on celebrating together. The commentary underlines a broader seasonal transit crunch affecting everyday citizens who rely heavily on public transport infrastructure during peak festival weeks.
