The railways had been running fully reserved special trains' during the pandemic to prevent crowding in trains so as to contain the spread of the disease. Even the general second class coaches, mostly used by people on short distances and from economically backward sections, were made reserved coaches. However, as the COVID-19 cases are declining at a rapid speed across the country, the Indian Railways has decided to resume normal services.
In regular trains, general coaches will be earmarked as reserved or unreserved as these were prevailing during pre-pandemic period, a railway spokesperson said, as per a PTI report.
"In trains already restored with regular train numbers, second class accommodation shall be earmarked reserved or unreserved as per applicability during pre-pandemic period," the Indian Railways said in its circular. The circular further added that second class accommodation of special trains currently running as holiday special trains will also be earmarked and reserved or unreserved as per policy.
