The Indian Railways (IR) has reported a record-breaking 411 million passengers traveling by train across the country within the first three weeks of April, a report in the Hindustan Times said. This surge, the highest ever recorded for this period, is attributed to summer vacations, wedding season, and ongoing elections. The sudden increase in passenger numbers has strained IR resources, leading to overcrowded coaches as seen on social media platforms.
