Railway in Mumbai on track again
Print Edition
One of the world鈥檚 busiest urban rail systems in India鈥檚 financial capital Mumbai was restarted for all commuters yesterday, 11 months after it was shut down to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection in the city.
An average 8 million people were using the train services daily before the pandemic. Operations were stopped in March last year, as part of a strict lockdown imposed by the government.
Only government workers in 鈥渆ssential services鈥 were allowed to travel on the train network after it was partially opened in June.
Commuters trickled into still empty train coaches yesterday, wearing masks and armed with sanitizers.
鈥淔rom today, regular commuters will be allowed to travel,鈥 said Sumit Thaku, a spokesperson for Western Railways.
鈥淏ut only during non-peak hours.鈥
