As the Ganesh Festival approaches, many families travel from cities to their hometowns in Konkan. This journey often takes a long time and can be tiring, especially with traffic and rain. To help people during this festive time, the Konkan Railway has added a new stop to its Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) service. This service lets people carry their vehicles on the train while they travel comfortably in a passenger coach.
The new halt at Kolad station is a smart move. It will help more people, especially those from Raigad and nearby areas. With this extra stop, travelers can save time, avoid long road travel and still take their vehicles home for the festival.
This step shows how the railway cares about people’s needs and makes travel easier during important festivals. It’s a good example of planning and service for the common people.
