Lieutenant Shashi Kiran, Chief Public Relations Officer of North Western Railway said, “Track upgradation had been pending since long in the division. The trains will restart only after we complete the upgrade of the tracks.”
Special trains running between Jodhpur and Delhi Sarai Rohilla stations have been cancelled.

The Indian Railways had cancelled all its passenger trains, including express and local, after the announcement of lockdown in March, last year to break the Coronavirus chain. The Indian Railways restarted passenger train service to connect important cities across the country as the unlocking process began in several states.
The Indian Railways is currently running only special trains across the country. However, the timetabled trains have yet not been started. According to Indian Railway officials, the timetabled trains will be resumed like the pre-pandemic period once the Covid-19 cases subside completely.
