New Delhi: Amidst growing cases of Corona infection, people are preparing to move from one city to another due to festivals. During festivals people have no problem in going from the city to their home, so soon Indian Railways is going to run hundreds of special trains.
Informing the media about this, the Railway Board President said on Thursday that the Railways is planning to start 200 special trains between October 15 to November 30 (till Chhath Puja) in view of the passenger rush during the festive season.
Railway Board Chairman and CEO VK Yadav said that the Railways has decided that it is working to run special trains keeping in mind the needs of the state governments and the daily rush of passengers and the state of the epidemic.
He has also said that we have held meetings with the general managers of all zones of the railway and instructed all of them to review the status of covid-19 by talking with the local administration. The general manager of all zones has been asked to submit a report after which we will decide how many trains can be run during the holiday season. Yadav said that we estimate that we will run about 200 trains, but it is estimated that the number may be higher.
