Indian railways has strongly recommended that all passengers boarding special Rajdhani trains from May 12 should use contact tracing mobile app Aarogya Setu.
Officials at the railway ministry said that while the use of the app is highly recommended, passengers will not be asked to deboard if they don’t have the application downloaded in their phones. “We would like people to use the Aarogya Setu app as, but no one will be asked to deboard if they don’t have the application downloaded in their phone.
People must understand that they may cause harm to their co-passengers by not using it," a senior government official said. “If any passenger comes in contact or close to someone who has covid-19, using the app will immediately alert them.
