No trains until May 3, clarifies SCR

HYDERABAD: Putting an end to the speculations about resuming train services, South Central Railway clarified that a letter, which made scores of migrants gather at the Bandra station in Mumbai, was meant for internal communication among the oficials.
“A communication related to internal planning of SCR to assess demand for train services is being misinterpreted in some sections as the decision to run special trains for migrant labour.There is no such proposal and all passenger trains stand cancelled till 03.05.2020,” tweeted SCR.
According to the letter, which SCR claims was leaked, SCR chief commercial manager wrote to the divisional commercial manager informing the decision to run Jansadharan specials for migrant labourers. “No passenger trains will be run till May 3. The letter dated April 13 was meant for railway divisions to take a count of the migrant labourers, in case the railways ministry orders for special trains,” Ch Rakesh, chief public relations officer, SCR, told TOI.
