On the occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi on July 17, lakhs of devotees will visit Pandharpur from Nagpur, Akola, Gadchiroli, Wardha, Chandrapur, Amravati and Buldhana. The devotees start visiting Pandharpur from July 12 onwards, but there are very limited trains on this route, therefore devotees suffer to do the pilgrimage.
Keeping the increasing number of passengers in mind, the Ministry of Railways decided to run special trains from Vidarbha from July 13 onwards. The first train to Pandharpur will leave on July 14 from Nagpur whereas another train from Nagpur will leave on July 15.
Two trains will start from Amravati on July 13 and July 16 respectively. Whereas, trains will run between Khamgaon and Pandharpur on July 14 and 17.
