The government has put a lockdown till May 3 to prevent the spread of Corona infection across the country. In such a situation, no one is allowed to leave the house. Whatever is there is stuck. But with the passage of time, the dam of patience of the people is now breaking. People trapped away from home now want to reach home anyway.
In such a situation, possibilities are also being discovered as to how to get people trapped in lock-downs to their homes. The biggest medium for this is the railway. Today, PM Modi is to be discussed with the Chief Ministers through video conferencing. If such a demand is made by the states, then the Center can consider it.
Railway sources said that if the approval is received from the government, then the train can be run. The train will run from a station and will stop at its destination. The train will not stop at any station in between. Also, no fare will be charged from the passengers.
An isolated coach will also run with the special train. In which there will be a team of doctors. According to railway officials, there is no plan to run any train right now.
However, he also said that railway preparation is available all the time. To run the train, first of all, the Ministry of Health should get the green signal. There is no decision at the moment. The first notice will be issued whenever the train runs. A department cannot take a decision because of covid-19.
