Ajmer Chandigarh Garib Rath

The 2nd wave of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic seems to have peaked as the daily numbers get lower by the day. But the need to be watchful is as paramount as before because the fear and psychosis that people suffered in the months of April and May still remains intact. To ease the burden of the railway passengers in these trying times of Covid-19, the Indian Railway has decided to restore the services of 3 Special Trains including Ajmer Chandigarh Garib Rath Express.

Many trains were cancelled by the Indian railways due to poor occupancy rate of passengers amid an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases in the length and breadth of India.
