Gradually increasing demand of passengers

The Railways has directed the Zonal Railways to operate trains keeping in view the local needs. In this the situation of Corona has to be taken care of. If the corona infection is fast, then the frequency of trains will be reduced or will be operated with extra precaution. Before running the trains, the demand for tickets is also being seen in that zone. If the demand of passengers is high, then more trains are being allowed to run from the railway side. On the other hand, the North East Frontier Railway (NFR) is preparing to restore 72 percent of the trains by mid-July. Consultations are going on with different state governments and the situation of Corona is being looked into. If everything is normal then by mid-July 72 percent of the trains will be restored on the NFR route.

Very soon 21 pairs of special or express trains will start, the notification of which has been issued. In the second wave of Corona, NFR has made freight transportation easier and served the business class. This year till the month of May, NFR has transported a record 1.480 MT of essential commodities. In the same period last year, only 0.802 MT of goods were transported. Due to the closure of the transport facility during the Corona period, people have made full use of the railways for freight.
