After Indian Railways resumed passenger train services in the country in a "phased" manner with 15 pairs of trains from 12 May, 2020, the national transporter is now gearing up to run another 200 special trains from tomorrow, 1 June.
This development comes in a move to let citizens travel to their hometowns amid the nationwide lockdown which was imposed to combat spread of novel coronavirus in the country.
The Ministry of Railways today said that more than 1.45 lakh passengers will be travelling on Monday when the 200 special trains will start their operations.
Around 26 lakh passengers have booked tickets on these special trains till 30 June, the national transporter said. These trains also include the popular trains such as Durontos,
