Various states have imposed lockdowns and night curfews to prevent the spread of Kovid infection across the country. In this case, the general public was skeptical about running passenger trains. The Railway Ministry on Monday dismissed the suspicion. Passenger train service will continue as normal, Railways said. Passengers have also been instructed to listen to rumors that the train is not running.
On Monday night, the Ministry of Railways tweeted that Indian Railways’ passenger train service would continue as normal. Passengers are requested to avoid ulation rights deals in case of emergency. Arrive at the station only if you have a confirmation or RAC ticket. Follow all remote rules’.
Despite the Ministry of Railways announcing that passenger train service will continue, there are reports that local trains have been canceled from various branches of the Railways to deal with the situation. For example, 30 pairs of local trains were canceled on Monday in the Sialkot division. Over the past few days, 10-12 pairs of trains have been canceled in Howrah division. The number of passengers on suburban trains can still be seen as the infection spreads. This is enough to raise concerns about the corona. Meanwhile, railway workers have been reported to be infected with the corona virus. As of Monday, about 60 guards and drivers from the Howrah and Cialda divisions were reported to have been infected with the corona. Some railway workers are of the opinion that the impact of the corona attack is being felt on the service.
Passengers are also watching to see what kind of restrictions the railways will impose on passengers in the coming days or what special measures will be taken to block the corona transmission network.
