Statement: There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of requests for berths in most of the long distance trains during the current holiday season. Courses of Action: I.The railway authority should immediately increase the capacity in each of these trains by attaching additional coaches. II.The people seeking accommodation should be advised to make their travel plan after the holiday.
