        2. Use NTES or IRCTC<\/strong> apps to filter for Zone = South Central Railway<\/em>, Category = Special Trains<\/em>, around festival weeks.<\/li>\n
        3. Use third\u2011party tools like TrainHelp<\/strong>, IndiaRailInfo<\/strong>, or ScratchMap<\/strong>, filtering for special trains<\/em> under SCR during Puja or Chhath.<\/li>\n
        4. Set alerts on apps so that when SCR trains are booked or announced, you’ll receive notifications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
