As all means of transport came to a halt, railways took the burden of ensuring that the supply of food-grains, vegetables, petrol, coal, medicine, parcel service, construction material and much more, is never halted.
Goyal stated that train journeys have to be planned and the ministry does not want that after all the preparations and planning, the trains only idle on respective stations and are eventually cancelled as it had happened before.
These trains will be fully reserved trains having both AC & Non AC classes. The general coaches will also be reserved seats for sitting. Most importantly, there will be no unreserved coach on the train.
