As Ratha Jatra was organized without pilgrims since last two years due to Covid-19 protocols, Railway expects much more pilgrims will be gathered at Puri, this year.

Apart from this, the East Coast Railway has taken necessary steps to facilitate pilgrims with reserved class accommodation, for the trains leaving from its jurisdiction towards Puri and vice-versa, apart from the Special trains from neighboring States.
