IRCTC on Wednesday said that it is going to resume its corporate trains, the Tejas Express for Lucknow-New Delhi and Ahmedabad-Mumbai routes from 14 February.
However, to ensure social distancing, every alternate seat on these two trains will be kept vacant.
Also, railway passengers before entering the coach will be thermally screened and will not be allowed to exchange their seats once seated. IRCTC Tejas Express passengers will be provided a “COVID-19 protection kit”, which will contain a bottle of hand sanitizer, one face shield, one mask, and a pair of gloves.
