The Railways has cancelled all tickets booked till June 30 and promised full refund to the passengers.
However, the Shramik Specials or the 15 pairs of special trains started on May 12 will continue.
The Railways said a total of 800 Shramik Specials were run from various States till May 14, ferrying over 10 lakh people. Additionally, for the special trains, so far over 1.25 lakh tickets worth ₹45.30 crore have been booked for more than 2.34 passengers.
In April, the Railways announced that advance reservation, including e-tickets, would not be allowed “till further notice”.
“...Regular passenger service including Mail/Express, Passenger and Suburban services have been cancelled until further advice... Competent authority has desired that all tickets booked for the above trains for the period up to June 30, 2020 may be cancelled and full refund generated as per provisions…,” a Railways order said.
The Railways suspended mostly all passenger services from March 22. However, as part of efforts to gradually restart operations, it announced earlier this month that 15 pairs of special trains would be run to and from New Delhi.
