Indian Railways launches VIKALP Yojana for flexible train booking

After Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced 6,000 special trains ahead of the festive season, Indian Railways has introduced the Alternate Train Accommodation Scheme (ATAS), known as the VIKALP Yojana. Under this scheme, passengers can select multiple trains at once, allowing them the option to travel on a train where a seat is available.
