All trains going from Prayagraj to Mumbai are full for the next two months. Now major trains have confirmed berths in the month of July only. In such a situation, those who have to go towards Mumbai route after the closure of schools and colleges, are facing the problem of confirmed seats. At present there are more than two dozen trains from Prayagraj Junction and Chhivki to Mumbai. Some of these operate regularly and some operate two or three days a week. There are no confirmed seats in any class in these trains for the next two months.
This is the situation when all the schools and colleges of Sangamnagar are still open. Summer holidays in most of the countries will start from 15th to 20th May. Despite this, all the trains on routes like Mumbai, Pune etc. are already full. Duronto traveling from Prayagraj to Mumbai now has no berths in any class till June 15.

Similarly, Sandeep Patel of Jhunsi has to go to Pune on 22nd May next month, but all the trains are full till June.
