IndiGo crisis: Indian Railways opens counters at airports

The Indian Railways has opened special assistance counters at airports to help passengers stranded due to mass cancellations by IndiGo. According to an official statement, the counters have been set up at Ahmedabad and Patna airports.

"These efforts supplement measures such as additional coaches on existing trains and offering reserved travel options," the statement said.

The national transporter is also running 89 special train services (over 100 trips) from Saturday to Monday across multiple zones. "This will help support smooth travel and ensure adequate connectivity amid rising demand for rail travel," the statement added.
