Indian Railways: Indian Railways runs thousands of trains every day across the country, in which crores of passengers travel. Despite this, there are thousands of passengers who do not get confirmed seats. During big festivals like Holi, Diwali and Chhath Puja, the condition in trains becomes even worse. But do you know that after making the chart, you can get a confirmed seat in a moving train also. The surprising thing is that very few people are aware of this feature of Railways, hence even after the seat becomes vacant, they do not get a place in the train. Here we will know how to find the vacant seat in the train after the chart is made. After the chart is prepared, there are two easy ways to find a vacant seat in a moving train. Let us know.
