3 Special Trains Restored

The deadly Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of almost every individual in some capacity or another. The raw numbers seem to have peaked in the ongoing 2nd wave, but the fear and psychosis still remains intact. To ease the burden of the railway passengers in these trying times of Covid-19, the Western Railways division has decided to restore the services of 3 Special Trains in the Western and Southern regions of India.

Many trains had been cancelled by the Indian railways due to poor occupancy rate of passengers amid an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases in the Western and Southern regions of India.
