Details of Special Trains Requested for Ajmer Urs 2025
During the meeting, AIMIM placed requests for four special trains, including:
- Nampally to Ajmer
- Kacheguda to Ajmer
- Machilipatnam–Ongole to Ajmer
- Nanded to Ajmer
Majid Hussain emphasized that these trains are sanctioned every year due to AIMIM’s representation, ensuring smooth travel for thousands of pilgrims.
Majid Hussain’s Statement: Security and Facilities Must Improve
Speaking to the media, Majid Hussain said:
“We came here on the direction of Asaduddin Owaisi Sahab to request approval for special trains for the 814th Urs of Khwaja Garib Nawaz (RA). Along with train sanctions, we stressed the need for better security arrangements, adequate drinking water, and improved coaches for pilgrims.”
He added that last year some incidents occurred inside the trains, highlighting the need for:
- Security personnel from Hyderabad to Ajmer and back
- Extra coaches to handle rush
- Better water supply onboard
Railway officials assured him that these issues would be addressed.
Two-Phase Ticket Counter Opening Suggested to Avoid Heavy Rush
Majid Hussain also requested that ticket sales should not open at all stations simultaneously. Instead, he proposed a two-phase opening:
- First phase at Kacheguda
- Second phase at Nampally
This staggered approach would reduce overcrowding, allowing pilgrims to book tickets with ease.
Railways Assure Positive Action on AIMIM’s Representation
Railway officials expressed confidence that AIMIM’s demands would be met, and arrangements for pilgrims would be improved compared to previous years. They also agreed to consider additional coaches and enhanced safety deployments during the journey.
