India is going through a devastating second wave of the Coronavirus. This deadly global pandemic has changed the lives of almost every individual in some capacity or another. Transport is one of the hardest hit sectors of these times but to facilitate the railway passengers in these trying times of Covid-19, Indian Railway has decided to add 15 more special summer trains in the northern and Central regions of India. These special trains will cover the areas of Mumbai, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. The booking on these trains is currently available.
Indian Railways is busy opening new train routes and reopening old routes to ease the burden of railway travelers who have been left stranded without the service of public transport after the announcement of nationwide lockdown.

Indian Railway is trying to restore its passenger train service to pre-pandemic levels, provided the Covid-19 virus remains under control and all the approvals are secured by the concerned state governments. These trains are most likely to be special train service only. All regular passenger train services of Indian Railways were suspended when a nationwide lockdown was declared last year in March but since May 2020 special train services were started by the national transporter in a phased manner.
