The COVID-19 situation in India is getting worse by the day. Many states have imposed lockdowns and curfews in order to curb the spread of the virus. Both the central and state governments are urging people to stay inside their homes and step out only in case of emergencies or for essential services. Since all these things are in place, the migrant labour, especially in metro cities like Mumbai and Delhi, are under a panic situation. Last year, when a similar situation had occurred many daily wagers had to head home on foot as there were no trains or any other transportation available due to the lockdown.
According to a report published in DNA, the railways in order to avoid a situation like last year has started increasing the number of special trains. Every now and then, the department keeps sharing information about the operation of railways. Many trains are also getting cancelled as there are very few passengers on the route. The information regarding cancellation and special trains is regularly shared on the Ministry of Railway’s official twitter handle.
