To manage the extra rush of passengers during the Ganpati immersion on Anant Chaturdashi, the Western Railway (WR) will operate six pairs of special Mumbai local trains in the intervening night of September 6-7 between Churchgate and Virar.

WR said the additional services aim to ensure smooth travel for devotees heading to various immersion sites across the city.

It has appealed to the passengers to check the timings and plan their journeys accordingly to avoid last-minute rush.
