          \ud83d\udd0d What You Should Do<\/h2>\n

          1. Watch for special train notifications in late August to September 2025<\/strong>\u2014IRCTC, TrainHelp, or Railways press releases usually list Puja specials then.<\/li>\n
          2. If 01043\/01044<\/strong> are resumed close to Puja, they may serve\u2014but confirm schedule and running days early.<\/li>\n
          3. In the absence of Puja specials, rely on regular weekly\/daily express trains<\/strong> via Samastipur, especially Avadh Express<\/strong>, Jaynagar<\/strong>, or Guwahati Express<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
