NEW DELHI: The Indian Railways is planning to operate about 40 pairs of additional special trains from Delhi to several other cities across the country, a report said.
Tickets for these trains may be bought up to 120 days ahead. Some seats will also be kept under the Tatkal quota system in these trains.
These special trains will be regularly sanitised and passengers will have to arrive at the stations 90 minutes early. They will have to undergo thermal screening before they start their journey. Plans are being made to control the number of passengers at stations.
A proposal regarding the same has apparently been sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs by the Railway Ministry.
The ministry of railways is already operating 15 pairs of special Rajdhani trains from May 12 and 200 mails and express trains from June 1 onwards.
