Will trains run after lockdown? Railway Ministry gave its answer

The country has a lockdown until April 14 to stop the corona virus from spreading. During this time Indian Railways is also closed. In such a situation, there are many questions in the mind of the passengers whether they will be able to travel in the train after the lockdown as before.

Even if the operation of Indian Railways started from April 15, passengers may not have to travel in full AC trains like Shatabdi, Rajdhani Express. Also, general class coaches can be removed. Or perhaps the middle and side upper berths of the train are kept empty. In addition, traveling on waiting tickets can also be banned. It may be that the operation can be started by removing the AC coach from other trains too and only installing sleeper coaches.

At the same time, according to some media reports, passengers traveling by train will not be allowed to board without sanitizing it. Passengers can be called to the station at least two hours in advance, so that their sanitization process can be easily completed.

Railway Ministry clarified

However, the Ministry of Railways has made it clear that no protocol has been issued for travel after the lockdown is over. The Ministry has said that a decision is yet to be taken in this regard. When a decision is taken in this matter, the concerned parties will be informed about it.

People stranded in different parts of the country

It is known that all the passenger trains have been closed to prevent the spread of corona virus across the country. Only goods trains are being run. In such a situation, many people are trapped in different parts of the country and want to reach their homes, but there is no means of this. Therefore, millions of people are waiting for trains to run. The Railway Ministry has not yet decided whether the passenger trains will run or not.
